Bag/container for personnel to carry medications

Adult Medical Emergency pharmacists at YNHH are going to start a pilot to bring tenecteplase kits to codes soon. They will obtain the drug kit at the beginning of their shift and if not used return it to inventory by the end of their shifts

How are other organizations supporting the carrying of medications on personnel so that one is maintaining drug security, but also ensuring maintenance of proper storage conditions? In other words, how have you addressed the concern for lab coat pocket or fanny pack use and adjacent body temperature?
