About HDDP
*Now offering 31.5 CEs!
USP General Chapter <800>, which became official December 1, 2019, offers guidelines for the safe handling of hazardous drugs. USP <800> also stipulates that each entity handling Hazardous Drugs (HDs) MUST identify a Designated Person (DP) to guide them through initial implementation and to ensure ongoing compliance.
Our HDDP Certification course is a self-paced, cost-effective way to train the employee who is to assume the required role of designated person, certifying that he/she has the knowledge to ensure your compliance with USP <800>.
