Opioids in the Workplace

From the the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

The effects of opioid use and misuse are not isolated to work or home environments, and the potential for opioid use disorder may be preceded by injuries that happen in the workplace, with the consequences affecting both an individual’s working life as well as their home life.

By using Total Worker Health principles, NIOSH is developing solutions to help workers and employers facing this crisis in their communities. Learn about the specific steps NIOSH is taking to approach this challenge.
