LUNCHEON KEYNOTE Overdose Prevention Training: Ensure Your Employees Can Respond and Save Lives Dr. Aaron Hunt, MPH, PhD, Gabriela Murza and Ty Empey Recent research indicates an increased risk of industry employees witnessing an opioid overdose at work or in their personal lives. This led USU to develop tailored trainings for employees to respond to opioid overdose and save lives. Attendees will receive an on-site emergency overdose prevention kit that includes Narcan, a CPR mask, gloves, and key items needed to respond to an overdose. Substance Abuse Among Construction Workers- Study reported by the American Addiction Centers The construction industry has been particularly affected by the opioid epidemic, and workers in this field are among the most susceptible to opioid abuse.
