Ontario Workplace Naloxone Program

Starting June 1, 2023, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) in Ontario mandates that employers are responsible for the provision and maintenance of naloxone kits within the workplace.

Naloxone is a drug that can temporarily reverse the effects of opioid overdose.

If the employer becomes aware, or should reasonably anticipate, that there is a potential risk of a worker experiencing an opioid overdose while performing their duties for the employer, the employer must comply with the OHSA requirements to provide naloxone in the workplace.

For more detailed information on how employers can assess if they need to provide naloxone in their workplace, please visit the guidelines here.
