I work in the food production sector where contamination of food
products could have serious implications - both for the consumer who
eats a possibly medicinally contaminated product, and the loss of a
contract with a major retailer(s) if contamination occurs. So yes there
are occasions where a policy on prescribed medication is required.

Josie,
I'm intrigued. As someone who carries his own prescribed medication at
all times, why would you want a policy on it? I am happy to discuss but
if I was a worker where you are and you intended having some sort of
policy governing my prescribed medication, I'd be throwing DDA and Human
Rights legislation back at you.

Hi everyone
Does anyone have a policy they would be willing to share re above.
I am looking at workers who administer and carry there own medication.
