Dear All

 

I have been asked to seek advice on UK legislation and good practice for
displaying medicine in a museum environment. Specifically, the items
concerned are: A World War Two Airman's kit containing morphine and, more
generally, the display of gas masks that contain asbestos. I understand that
gas masks can be displayed as long as they are not used, or placed on an
individuals head. However, we need advice on the kit in order to cover
ourselves for any legal eventualities. If the morphine is contained within a
sealed "kit" bag, that has to have invasive, therefore damaging actions
(i.e. torn open) I would prefer that the item is contained in a legal
environment rather than taking any invasive action or returned to the donor.


 

Could any of you help with this?

 

Many Thanks

 

Robin Patel
