USP 800--use of resiprators

How is your organization handling respirators? For example, if a CSTD is being used during IV administration of those medications that have the potential to vaporize at room temperature (i.e. carmustine, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, etc.) are your nurses using respirators OR are you considering the CSTD the protection? Are you just using PAPR type respirators in the event of a spill? I appreciate your guidance!
