Other Hazards in Pharmacy Setting
Workplace Violence
Violence in hospitals usually results from patients and occasionally from their family members who feel frustrated, vulnerable, and out of control.
Narcotics Make a Job Hazardous
Violence against pharmacists differs from violence experienced by other healthcare workers. Increasingly, pharmacists face violence from robberies at their workplace.
Across the United States, reports of pharmacy robberies specifically related to the theft of OxyContin and Vicodin have been reported. These prescription pain killers may be used for the robber's own addiction or sold on the street for a significant amount of money.
