What argument is made for maintaining a tablet program in the workplace?

Maintaining a tablet program in the workplace is primarily beneficial because it reduces liability by providing controlled access to medications. This structured approach ensures that only authorized personnel can access and dispense medications, which helps in managing safety protocols effectively. Controlled access can also prevent misuse and ensure that employees receive the correct dosage and type of medication, reducing the risk of potential injuries or health issues arising from improper access. This system not only safeguards the health and wellbeing of employees but also protects the company from legal consequences associated with improper medication administration.

In contrast, while saving money on supplies, managing medications, or reducing the need for first aid training may have their merits, they do not directly address the critical concern of liability that can arise from improper management of medication in the workplace.
