Sublingual tacrolimus

Our hospital would like to start giving tacrolimus via the SL route for patients unable to swallow the capsule.
Does anyone administer tacrolimus sublingually in their hospital and has a policy or process to share on how it is being administered, respecting that it is listed as a Group 2 hazardous medication on NIOSH's hazardous drug list?

Thank you! Alex
