Niosh Group 2 hazardous drugs

I am curious to know how other institution handle group 2 hazardous drugs.
For example IV Cellcept, the package insert makes no note of handing as a chemo/hazardous but NIOSH would have you double chemo glove, gown, prepare in BSC, RN to wear gloves and gown as well. Also included in this group 2 is IV phenytoin. Are any institutions using this level of precaution for phenytoin ?
Thanks for any input.
