Description

*Virtual meeting*

Starting December 12, 2026, many New York State employers that are required under federal OSHA standards to maintain first aid supplies will also be required to include an opioid antagonist, such as Narcan/naloxone, in their workplace first aid materials.

Join Greater Rochester Chamber for a timely  event, presented by Harris Beach Murtha attorney Ibrahim Tariq, for an overview of what this new requirement may mean for employers. This session will help businesses better understand the law, who may be covered, what steps employers should consider taking before the effective date, and how to think about workplace policies, training, storage, and emergency response procedures.

This program is designed to provide practical guidance for employers preparing for this upcoming workplace compliance requirement.

3-4 key takeaways attendees can expect from the program:

• Which employers are likely to be impacted by New York's new naloxone hydrochloride requirement.
• How to assess your organization's readiness before the law takes effect.
• Key considerations for workplace policies, training, storage and emergency response procedures.
• Practical strategies for maintaining compliance while supporting workplace safety.

• Human Resources professionals
• Business owners and executives
• Operations and workplace safety managers
• In-house counsel and compliance professionals
• Anyone responsible for workplace policies, employee health and safety, or regulatory compliance

* Chamber members looking for information on obtaining a free Narcan supply, free training, etc., please contact the Chamber's HR Services team: Jennifer Suppe', Manager, Organizational Culture and HR Services, or (585) 256-4608, Cindy Miller, HR Services Partner, (585) 256-4606,  and Kathy Richmond, Sr. Director, HR Services, (585) 256-4618.
