Mitigation Strategies with history of Malignant Hyperthermia

Does your organization have standardized mitigation strategies in the OR when a patient has a history of malignant hyperthermia?

Our anesthesia group currently does not have a standard so there is some variability in practice. Typically they will move succhinylcholine from the main drawer, or put tape over the pocket in the ADC with a note indicating MH patient. Different individuals may do more or less. I'd like to look towards standardization. Curious what others do!

Thanks,
