Look up the tragedy at Bastion Plating as one example. "Safeguarding" it at a pharmacy neither meets the requirements of the law, nor helps when a worker is exposed to cyanide because the victim will be dead long before anything can be gotten from a pharmacy. Plating shops use cyanide-bearing processes and are required by OSHA law to have a cyanide antidote kit on hand. If Eli Lilly doesn't make it anymore you would be saving everyone a lot of lost motion if you told us who does, please. Ted Mooney PE, Pharmacists are aware of the Cyanide kit which needs to be safeguarded for actual life threatening situations that occur on a pretty normal basis or in case of a severe bio terrorist attack and just for your information Eli Lilly does not make it anymore and happens to be it's a different company now. You must make the effort because OSHA does not hesitate to fine an employer for failing to have a cyanide antidote kit. Get a note from them for your doctor and instructions on how to order the kit (I think it's distributed by Eli Lilly) take the note to your doctor and he'll give you the prescription give the prescription and the ordering info you got from the poison control center to your pharmacist. The trick may be to start at your regional poison control center - they have such kits. So you have to mount it behind tempered glass with one of those little hammers like on some old fashioned fire alarm stations. Your third problem is you can't leave a controlled dangerous substance like this available. The second problem is that your pharmacist may not be familiar with this law or the kits (been there / done that). So you'll need a doctor's prescription for the kit, and you may have trouble finding a willing doctor. The one ingredient in the kit that is administrable without injection or professional help is amyl nitrite capsules, a controlled dangerous substance (poppers).
