We have to fill out emergency forms in case something happnens to us that requires emergency medical care. It asks about medications, etc. What I do is write the information on a separate note, seal it in an envelope, which I staple to the emergency form. I write on the envelope and on the form that the envelope is to be opened only in the event of emergency care if I have lost consciousness and am unable to answer the questions of medical care providers myself. The personnel office said this was fine with them.
We have not been asked to disclose medications that could impair safe work performance. If we were, I don't feel any of my meds impair safe work performance anyway. The only ones that would be a problem are the meds I take at night and the effective risk is during the hours immediately after I take them, so it doesn't apply to my working hours anyway.
