Assembly Bill 1976 requires California workplaces to stock naloxone in first aid kits, aiming to increase accessibility and decrease opioid overdose deaths.
If fentanyl continues to be more accessible than naloxone, we're going to keep seeing an increase in overdose deaths in our communities.
The bill was amended to empower the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board to consider naloxone stocking for workplaces rather than imposing a blanket mandate.
The decision to stock naloxone in workplaces sparked opposition initially from construction groups, citing safety and storage concerns at temperature-controlled sites.
