Excited to stand with @NSCsafety as they launch their Opioid Toolkit to encourage employers to take action to address #OpioidOverdoes in the workplace and support their employees in recovery. #OpioidsAtWork

Employers have a critical role in putting a stop to the #OpioidEpidemic. The new #OpioidsAtWork Employer Toolkit from @NSCsafety addresses just that. nsc.org/opioidsatwork

“Make #naloxone available in every work place!” - Lorraine Martin, CEO of @NSCsafety

86% of employers believe taking opioids even as prescribed can impair job performance, yet only 60% have policies in place. The new #OpioidsAtWork Employer Toolkit from @NSCsafety helps close that gap.

My message to employers and to the larger community is simple: #GetNaloxone and know how to use it. For more information about what you can do, please use & SHARE my digital postcard, with tangible actions you can take to combat the #OpioidCrisis.
