Your clinical waste handling service might have some information.

These are generic rather than specific, but if you scroll down there are more links you can look at, also the RCVS code has some advise

Hi! I can throw a few resources your way paper wise if you like? It’s a big subject and safety is so important!
This paper is really helpful but 2009 so not super recent:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2684058/

Also this is a recent consensus on cytotoxic drugs with a chapter on veterinary (though the photos are not representative of what I’d expect safety wise tbh)

https://ec.europa.eu/social/BlobServlet?docId=26820&langId=en

Finally, this ACVIM consensus statement is useful

I’m an oncology nurse and have my own social media @oncologyrvn so happy to help over there too if I can!
