Insulin Injections In Workplace
One of my bosses just told me this morning that I can't inject myself with insulin unless I'm in the bathroom (no sharps container, stalls instead of private and potential aerosolized fecal, urine, and (I'm female) blood), or go to a constantly locked private room where I have to get someone with the key every time I need to use it. I have asked for a copy of the private room key since I need to inject 2-3 times a day at work and they said no. Is there anything I can do about this predicament? I work in a warehouse environment where there is hardly any private space, and is rather not inject myself in a bathroom that is used by everyone.
Location: West Chester, OH
Update: I talked with the boss above them, and we found that the private room (which is a medical room) has a key constantly hanging there for anyone to use. The boss who gave me the ultimatum is, unfortunately, safe from the wrath of the ADA for now. If that room hadn't had the key hanging openly, I would have gone well above them and caused a stink at the negligence behind it all. They also don't have a sharps container available, so I'm trying to get the workplace to be responsible and get a supply of them for the health room. Oh, and my boss is the HR in this building.
