Hazardous Drug Storage Room and powder hood

We have recently remodeled and now have an HD storage room with a powder hood. Does anyone have any policies or SOPs related to the use of the powder hood and the HD storage room (garbing, cleaning, etc,)? If an RPh is walking into the room to check a compounded HD, or remove a compounded IV HD from the HD buffer room pass-through, do you require full garb? If staff are restocking meds in the HD room, do you require full garb?
Would it be reasonable to only require shoe covers and gloves in that room if you are not compounding?
