Can a department disperse aspirin or any other kind of over-the-counter medication to its employees?
Its OK to stock aspirin or another kind of over-the-counter medication in a departments first aid kit. The safety issue has to do with how it is dispensed. When someone is in need of the medicine, he or she has to take it out of the first aid kit themselves. For example, someone in the department could bring over the first aid kit to another employee, but the employee would have to take the aspirin out for him or herself.
