The opioid crisis in the United States costs tens of thousands of lives per year—and some of the victims overdose at work. Naloxone (Narcan and RiVive are two available versions) can reverse the effects of opioids and save lives, and employers are increasingly considering stocking the product at work. The FDA’s recent approval of nonprescription over-the-counter naloxone nasal sprays makes the life-saving drug more accessible to employers that want to have them on hand in case of an emergency. This multistate webinar will focus on individual state laws and requirements as well as address frequently asked questions and best practices for large and small employers alike.

Join us for OSH Law Primer, a webinar series that will provide an overview of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and how both influence workplaces in the United States. The third webinar in the series will cover an employer’s duty to comply with federal OSHA standards, including the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act), general industry standards, and industry-specific standards. Future topics will include recordkeeping and reporting, OSHA citations, preemption, and employment law issues related to workplace health and safety.
