I think there is insufficient information to provide a meaningful direct answer.
What’s in the stockroom – Styrofoam cups or cocaine?
Where is the stockroom – what country, what state, what city?
Regardless, I don’t think regulations are going to solve the issue here – distrust of some employees by other employees.

Here's a question that I received and would like the feedback and suggestions of the listserv.  Thanks ... Jim 
I am the lab/stockroom manager for Chemistry and have maintained a secure stockroom now for the past 10 years. We have a new department chair and he wants to give access to all permanent, visiting, and adjunct faculty. I feel that this is a mistake but have to give evidence to support my reluctance of open access. Is there any regulations that I can quote about securing the stockroom? I know at one time Homeland Security sent an e-mail to our CPO and other CFOs about securing these areas. Any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
PS.  LSI now has virtual lab inspections, safety program evaluations, document reviews, plus courses and seminars ... all virtual.  And, a complimentary,  updated version of our classic Laboratory Safety
 Guidelines is now available on our website ... https://www.labsafety.org/product/lab-safety-rules
