Heparin Drip in ADC

Does anyone practice loading heparin drips in ICU ADC's? If so, are there any added safety processes in place? We do keep certain premixed pressors and drips in the ICU ADCs, but not heparin drips. Our institution is considering also loading heparin drips, but I am somewhat concerned about this practice. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
