When treating cancer, the right training, knowledge and skills can mean life or death for patients undergoing chemotherapy and biotherapy. An oncology nurse who treats cancer patients receives specialized training from her employer to administer chemotherapy and biotherapy.
Fire Hazard - Description of the chemical's fire hazards (such as flammability, explosion risk, or byproducts that may evolve if the chemical is burned). Health Hazard - Description of the chemical's health hazards (such as toxicity, flammability, or corrosivity). Reactivity Profile - Description of the chemical's potential reactivity with other chemicals, air, and water. Also includes any other intrinsic reactive hazards (such as polymerizable or peroxidizable).
e-CFR. 1  Although safety hazards related to the physical characteristics of a chemical can be objectively defined in terms of testing requirements (e.g. flammability), health hazard definitions are less precise and more subjective. Health hazards may cause measurable changes in the body - such as decreased pulmonary function.
