Mild pain and stomach discomfort are problems that affect your employees daily.
Regardless of your work environment, employees that are experiencing discomfort will either go home or remain at work in a less productive capacity.
The pain relief tablets provided by Workforce First Aid and Safety are all individually packaged doses with appropriate label information in both English & Spanish.
We offer both name brand and national generic brands.
Over-The-Counter (OTC) Medications In Workforce First Aid Kits provide OTC tablets as a vital part of a complete and cost effective first aid program.
When employees are coughing, sneezing or suffering from a headache or stomach cramps, they need fast, effective and long-lasting relief.
Your liability insurance carrier may recommend that you not offer OTC tablets in your first aid cabinets.
However, there is no liability when using OTC properly labeled and freshness dated non-drowsy products! Insurance companies should not dictate matters to profitability.
Companies with drowsy or uncomfortable employees risk losses from increased injuries on the job.
Only employers who allow sharing of open bottles of over-the-counter medication or provide non-prescription drugs which are not individually packaged and properly labeled may be liable if an employee suffers adverse reaction.
Consider this: · Employers should make available only individually packaged tablets. Packages must be clearly marked with all the FDA and manufacturer required indications and warnings. Tablet pack- aging should conform to the specifications in the Appendix to ANSI Standard Z308.1-2003*.
· Employers should make tablets available at no cost to the employee and receive no economic benefit from supplying the products.
· Employers are not liable in the event products are tampered with, unless the employer knew about the tampering and did nothing to protect employees.
· Employers are not liable if an employee suffers a rare, unforeseen reaction to a non-prescription drug.
· Employers are not liable when the employee makes an informed selection of tablets on their own, and when the employer makes available only products supplied by a responsible vendor offering properly packaged and labeled products.
· Oral analgesics in single dose, tamper evident packets are now recommended by ANSI as products that should be included in workplace first aid kits. Workforce First Aid and Safety only distributes the highest quality OTC medications to the industrial workplace to help keep employees alert, comfortable, and productive at low prices.
All medications distributed by Workforce First Aid and Safety feature non drowsy formulations and microfilm coating for easy swallowing. *ANSI recommends that: Any additional over-the-counter drug product included in a first aid kit should be packaged in a single dose, tamper evident, packaging with full labeling as required by FDA regulations, and should contain no ingredients which are known to cause drowsiness.
