Non-formulary medications

We have had some errors with non-Formulary medications. Has anyone classified these agents as high risk? We scan the non-Formulary meds when dispensed but they are not scanned when administered. Staff can be unfamiliar with them and can be error prone. How have other places addressed non-Formulary meds from a safety perspective?
