At BD, we’re committed to providing health care workers with the proper protections required to handle hazardous drugs that can help save the lives of patients in need. It is because of this commitment that we would like to commend Assemblywoman Angelica Jimenez (D-Hudson) for advancing health care worker safety in New Jersey by championing (A-837) “Hazardous Drug Safe Handling Act” into law. http://bddy.me/2qx91nd
