Heparin subcutaneous injection: do you require a co-signer?

our high alert policy is currently under review. RNs are not required to perform independent double check on subcutaneous administration of heparin per our current policy. We are considering if we should maintain this practice or change it to require a co-signer. What are you currently doing at your respective hospitals. Are all forms of heparin, irrespective of the route co-signed by another RN or only the IVs and the drips? Thanks for your input
