My last client procurs a prescription from their OCC DOC. The kit is only g
ood for 1 year, and must be scheduled for re-stock. The kit is locked in an
alarmed access cabinet. When the door is opened for emergency use, the ala
rm sounds, drawing attention. There is a key to silence the alarm, but only
is used if the cabinet is opened for emergency use, or during bi-monthly i
nspection of the kit.To get the key "just because", let's just say=A0it's e
asier to mate elephants.

Does anyone have an opinion or experience with kits for people working with
cyanides? My understanding is that some people have had difficulty obtaini
ng amyl nitrite (?) kits.=A0

In the fire service, our trucks carry medical kits for the rare

trucks are also checked daily for working equipment.=A0 When the
inspection is done, the person initials a calandar.=A0 The daily checks
calls for the person checking to acknowledge the medical kit.=A0 One day
I realized no one checks inside of the kit.=A0 I opened it, replaced all
of the expired stuff (50%ish) and on the calendar I marked off the day
that the next item is to expire so someone knows to actually open the
bag up and look.
If you haven't realized where I was going, you should assign people to
check you fume hoods daily or weekly.=A0 To be honest, your working with
stuff that requires atropine, you should do that anyway.=A0 Check the
flow, cleanliness, all the equipment inside works, the door seals etc.
On the calendar that the inspector will have to initial, mark the day
that the drugs will have to be replaced and not just looked at with a
smile and say...its there.
