How much do time-delayed safes cost?
Costs for time-delayed safes vary depending on the size and provider. If your pharmacy already has a safe without a time-delay mechanism, it may be possible to have a retrofit mechanism installed at a lesser cost.
The College recognizes that this implementation requirement may represent an additional cost to the pharmacy. Purchasing a time-delayed safe is an investment in the safety of pharmacy team members and the public, and the security of drugs. There are many costs associated with having a pharmacy robbed, including time off for affected team members, counselling, replacing stolen stock and repairing any damage that occurred during a robbery.
