Which two medical staff are to inspect the Medical Store monthly to ensure all hazardous materials are stored correctly?

• A. OIC Medical Accounts & Practice Manager
• B. Head of Medical Services & Safety Officer
• C. Medical Officer & Store Supervisor
• D. Clinical Director & QA Lead

Answer: (A)

This item tests who should jointly conduct monthly checks of the Medical Store to confirm hazardous materials are stored properly, linking stock control with day-to-day management oversight. The Officer in Charge of Medical Accounts brings accountability and documentation focus—tracking quantities, expiry, losses, and procurement approvals—so storage records align with what’s physically present and what the accounts reflect. The Practice Manager provides operational oversight, ensuring that storage conditions meet safety and policy requirements, that labeling and segregation of materials are correct, and that the procedures for handling hazardous substances are followed in daily practice. Together, these roles cover both the financial/stock-record aspect and the administrative/safety governance aspect required for reliable, compliant storage.

Other roles focus more on safety operations or clinical leadership, but monthly verification benefits from pairing financial accountability with practical management oversight to ensure both records and storage practices are consistently correct.
