Fridge for Insulin
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview
Must be kept cool.
For Employees
Label your medication container clearly with "DO NOT TOUCH". If the communal fridge is unsafe, ask for a mini-fridge.
For Employers
If you have a staff fridge, this is sorted. If not, buy a £40 mini-fridge. Insulin is expensive and temperature sensitive.
Key Considerations
- Shared kitchen fridge fine.
- Marked container.
