This week, the Department of Labor ’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) debuted a fact sheet to help employers and workers rapidly respond to opioid-related overdose emergencies in the workplace. Treat overdose kits like first aid by storing them in highly visible, easily accessible locations, like you would with automated external defibrillators or standard first-aid kits.
