NSC is elated that opioid overdose reversal medication will be stocked and training on how to administer it will soon be provided in California workplaces, thanks to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) granting our petition proposing the requirement. Nationally, overdoses account for nearly 1 in 10 worker deaths on the job and have increased by more than 600% since 2011. In 2021, over 18% of workplace fatalities in California were due to an unintentional overdose. #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyForAll NSC has been actively advocating for #naloxone availability and access in all U.S. workplaces - including those in California. NSC firmly believes the inclusion of this opioid overdose reversal medication and training will help the state combat the opioid crisis. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/giQWcbfr.

Understanding the Reality: The opioid crisis has swiftly become a major concern for workplace safety, as highlighted by the National Safety Council. Cody Nagle, a recovery advocate and former White House advisor, shared a powerful message at the NSC Congress & Expo in New Orleans, shedding light on the devastating impact of drug use stigma. #OpioidCrisis #WorkplaceSafety #EndStigma https://hubs.la/Q026SCy80

The number of people dying from a drug overdose is at an all-time high, and the main cause of these deaths is opioids. Workplace overdose deaths have been increasing by 619% since 2011 and now cause nearly 9.6% of all worker deaths on the job.
