What features should a medicine wholesaler’s security system have to ensure medicine safety and prevent theft?

Medicines, particularly controlled psychotropic medicines or high-value medicines, are targets for theft. An effective security system is therefore essential. Basic requirements include: first, physical security. The premises must have sturdy doors, windows and locks to restrict access by unauthorised persons. Areas where controlled medicines are stored (such as poison cabinets) must have additional reinforcement and locking measures. Second, an intruder alarm system. A professional burglar alarm system connected to a 24-hour security company must be installed, covering all entrances and key areas. Third, a video surveillance system (CCTV). High-resolution cameras should be installed at key locations such as entrances and exits, goods receiving and dispatch areas, and medicine storage areas. Footage must be retained for at least 30 days to support investigation and traceability in the event of an incident. Fourth, access control. A strict key management or access card system should be established to ensure that only authorised staff can enter medicine storage areas, with corresponding entry and exit records.
