Additional Optional Module Opioid Awareness Workshop

We are facing a National Public emergency from opioid poisoning. Deaths related to prescription and illicit opioids and potent synthetic opioids like fentanyl have had a significant increase in North America.

Health Canada removed Narcan@ (Naloxone) from the Prescription Drug list as a result of this health crisis. The results showed that emergency Naloxone could be utilized without prescription as of 2016.

It was made available to the public to use in cases of suspected opioid poisoning prior to the arrival of EMS personnel to expedite saving a life from this powerful poison.

The objective of the Opioid Awareness workshop is to prevent disability and death by helping the general public recognize, access help, and provide emergency care to victims of suspected opioid poisoning.

Opioid poisoning frequently happens at work, in the field, or in the public. Hazard Assessment Part 2 of the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code notes that the employer shall assess the job hazards and train their employees to recognize hazards and receive training. Due to the higher frequency of this overdose, we offer this workshop as a convenient, reasonable, and fast means of training. We come to your facility for groups or offer it at our locations.
