Reporting Prescription Drugs, Over-the Counter Medications, and Dietary Supplements

摘要

Some prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, and combinations of these substances can affect the reliable performance of Human Reliability Program (HRP) duties. To identify potential concerns caused by these substances, the HRP requires that all HRP-certified individuals notify the site occupational medical director (SOMD), the designated physician, or the designated psychologist of any physical or mental condition requiring medication or treatment. The HRP occupational health professionals evaluate the condition, treatment, and prescribed medication with regard to the individuals duties identified in the job task analysis to ensure that safe and reliable performance of HRP duties is not compromised. This policy has been clarified to include reporting the use of certain over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
