Ensure the availability <strong>of</strong> a spill kit for the management <strong>of</strong> spills.<br />

5.3.4.1 Damaged containers should be handled like spills. To limit exposure, a damaged container<br />
should never be returned to the manufacturer or distributor. The manufacturer or<br />
distributor must, however, be advised in writing and the event should be documented (e.g.<br />
supporting material, photos). See Section 12 regarding spills. (++)<br />
5.3.4.2 A spill kit must be available in areas where hazardous drugs are received.<br />
