Drug safes are designed and used to securely store prescription drugs for pharmacies, hospitals, aged care facilities, medical clinics, veterinarians, as well as your own home.
If you have a business that deals with medicine on a regular basis, it is your legal obligation to make sure any prescription medications on your premises are safely locked away in a medicine safe which is compliant with the Australian Health & Pharmaceutical Standards. Regular audits are carried out to ensure that your organisation is following the rules and regulations.
If your house needs to keep your prescription medicine out of the reach of children and teenagers, a secure drug safe is the best choice. Leaving your medications, including vitamins and supplements in the open is potentially dangerous for a person using this incorrectly.
Now you have established the need for a medication safe, but where do you start with finding your perfect safe? Our Security Experts here at Safeguard Safes have made this easy by giving you a step-to-step manual to follow in selecting the best safe for you, and listed down some recommendations to help you get started.
1. Ask yourself what you’re planning to store in the drug safe.
If you sell or provide medications, or if you’re taking prescription drugs at home, you would have a record of all the medicines you stock on a regular basis. You need to take note of the item and quantity that needs to be stored in your medication safe, this information is required to figure out the required size for your drug safe.
2. Check the Health Department specifications that you need to comply with.
The Australian Health Department has released guidelines for appropriate pharmaceutical storage since medicines are highly addictive and fatal if consumed in the wrong dosage. When it comes to handling drugs and medicine, you must be aware of these requirements, and ensure the pharmaceutical safe you have complies with the state laws and passed Government standards.
3. How would you like to lock your safe?
You need to consider what locking mechanism you would like on your medicine safe that best suits you or your business needs. Popular options include the classic key, digital keypad, combination dial, and key swipe locking. Choose the one that will provide you with the most convenience while also protecting your medications from unauthorised access.
4. A good place to start is browsing the premium brands of pharmaceutical safes.
Drug safes sold by top brands meet Australian Health Department requirements. They might also have digital locking systems with audit trails to provide access reports during regular government audits. Furthermore, premium pharmaceutical medicines will have the structure and locking mechanisms that will ensure the safety of your medications.
