OPIOID AWARENESS WORKSHOP
We are facing a National Public emergency from Opiod poisoning. Deaths related to prescription and illicit opiods and potent synthetic opiods like fentanyl have had a significant increase in North America.
Health Canada removed Narcan@ (Nalaxone) from the Prescription Drug list, as a result of this health crisis. The results were that emergency use of Naloxone could be utilized without prescription, as of 2016. It was made available to the public to use in cases of suspected opioid poisioning 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 opiod poisoning.
Opiod poisoning happens frequently 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 ioffer this workshop as a convenient, reasonable and fast means to be trained. We come to your facility for groups or offer it at our locations.
