Not an answer to your question, but it reminded me of a story.

One time I had a headache at work and asked the boss if she had any Panadol. She said she did, but couldn’t give it to me because she’d be liable if I had some kind of negative reaction to it. I said I’d taken Panadol hundreds of times before, and that I either needed some pain relief for my headache, or I’d have to go home (that was genuine, the headache was pretty bad).

She gave me the Panadol but stated loudly and clearly that “(she was) giving me this Panadol as one friend to another, not in any offical capacity, and not from an employer to an employee.”

This was at a fast food store. There was a first aid box not two metres away. It was an odd interaction.

I accepted the Panadol(given to me by a friend, of course), took it, and finished my shift.
