Bottom Line
Effective June 1, 2023, certain Ontario-based employers will be required to have a naloxone kit in the workplace and ensure that workers are trained to administer naloxone. These requirements arise from Bill 88's amendments to Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act, which were proclaimed into force by Order in Council 1570/2022.
