Abstract
Training and regular evaluation of technicians involved in the preparation of antineoplastic agents seems essential to reduce occupational exposure. In this way, a continuous training program was established. Technicians were asked to prepare a safe simulated liquid cytotoxic drug with a fluorescein solution (10 mg/L). After, occupational exposure with this solution was simulated. Ultra-violet light (365 nm) was employed to determine surface contamination. This continuous training program is tested and validated with pharmacy technicians. All people handling these drugs (physicians, nurses, pharmacy staff) can use this program. Short mandatory training courses are stimulating and well appreciated.
