OSHA neither encourages nor discourages employers from dispensing OTC medications to employees. According to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2015, a basic workplace first aid kit may include oral analgesics packaged in single dose, tamper evident packaging with full labeling. However, employers should consult their legal professional as state law and relevant state court cases may impact an employer’s decision. Due to liability concerns, some employers make certain OTC medications available through a vending machine.
