Require all workplaces to keep Naloxone available in first aid kits and train employees in the use of Naloxone
HB 3071 requires all West Virginia workplaces to include an FDA-approved opioid overdose reversal medication (like naloxone) in first aid kits by December 1, 2027, and to train employees on its use. This applies directly to every employer across the state, mandating accessible emergency response tools for opioid overdoses. The bill specifies that the medication must be naloxone hydrochloride or another FDA-approved opioid antagonist, along with clear usage instructions. It aims to ensure immediate access to life-saving treatment in workplace settings without altering existing safety regulations.
