Opioids in the workplace = RISK
Workplace overdose deaths are at an all-time high. In fact, more than 9% of all occupational injury deaths in 2022 were overdose deaths.
Health and safety of employees is a top priority, and in light of the persistent concern of opioid and fentanyl overdoses in the workplace, you need to be prepared and have naloxone (Narcan) on hand.
Fentanyl overdose is a serious threat in the workplace, with the construction industry being one of the hardest impacted, followed closely by restaurants, bars and casinos. In 2021, more than 107,000 Americans died from an overdose, an all-time high.
Construction workers represent roughly 25% of fatal opioid overdoses among workers.*
Be prepared to respond quickly and effectively by having naloxone readily accessible should an overdose occur in your workplace.
Getting naloxone and training staff are solid first steps.
Visibility and accessibility will maximize the impact on saving lives.
Dr. Rahul Gupta, director of the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy, said accessibility is key to ensuring that the Narcan nasal spray saves lives.
We will encourage businesses, restaurants, banks, construction sites, schools, others to think about this – think about it (Naloxone) as a smoke alarm or a defibrillator, to make it as easily accessible, because it’s not just you. It could be your neighbor, it could be your family, your friend, a person at work or school who might need it,” Gupta said.
The American Medical Association Endorses Co-Location of Naloxone and AED installations.
By making naloxone more accessible, particularly where AEDs are located in public spaces, we can help prevent more opioid overdoses and save lives.” said Dr. Mukkamala.
