High Alert medications are drugs that have a high risk of endangering patient safety if not stored and used properly. According to Minister of Health Regulation No. 72 of 2016 concerning pharmaceutical service standards in hospitals, high-alert medicine is a drug that must be watched out for because it often causes serious errors (sentinel events) and drugs that have a high risk of causing unwanted drug reactions (ROTD). This research aims to determine and evaluate the storage of high-alert medications at the Occupational Health Hospital of West Java Province. The method in this research is qualitative descriptive research, with a sampling technique using total sampling of all high-alert medications at the Occupational Health Hospital of West Java Province Pharmacy Installation using a checklist sheet tool and interviews. The results of the evaluation in this study showed that high alert drugs with narcotic and psychotropic groups were by Permenkes No.3 of 2015 and Permenkes No.72 of 2016 and the storage of  LASA (Look Alike Sound Alike) drugs showed that the application of Tallman Lettering marking had not been carried out.
