Table 2 and table 3 niosh hazardous IV drugs

As a health system we are working on the USP 800 guidelines/Hazardous drug list.

I was curious what other institutions are requiring on the nursing end for the IV drugs in table 2 and 3 of the hazardous drug list. Some of the ones that are concerning to me are Dilantin, Valproic Acid, Zometa, Pamidronate.
1. Are you requiring nurses to handle these as chemo agents as the NIOSH would suggest? chemo gloves, gown, and CTSD for administration ?
2. If not what requirements do you have in place ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
