The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has taken on a project called Reverse Overdose Oregon, in an attempt to address the opioid epidemic. The goal of this project is to teach people when and how to administer naloxone. The OHA will be equipping workplaces with red boxes that contain everything that one would need to administer naloxone. Employers do need to purchase the naloxone on their own, however, OHA hopes that employers will adopt these red boxes as part of their workplace emergency preparedness kits. This campaign will specifically target firms where employees are in contact with a lot of people, or have an increased risk of injury.
