Chloral Hydrate

For organizations that still use chloral hydrate for pediatric procedural sedation, what procedures/policies/workflow (if any) do you have regarding appropriate storage and handling? It's not on the NIOSH list given it's unique regulatory status, but IARC classifies it as a potential human carcinogen. Did you perform an assessment of risk?
