Which action should be taken when receiving a new hazardous medication to ensure safety?

Handling hazardous medications safely starts with reviewing the Safety Data Sheet for that product. The SDS contains critical details about the hazards, the required personal protective equipment, engineering controls, safe handling and storage procedures, spill response, exposure controls, and first-aid measures. By reading the SDS before using a new hazardous medication, you know exactly what precautions to take and how to respond if something goes wrong. Skipping this step or ignoring the paperwork leaves you without essential safety information and increases the risk of exposure or injury. Discarding or neglecting the documentation is unsafe. The right action is to review the SDS sheets for the hazardous medication.
