The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) will discuss the opioid exposure crisis threatening the safety of the nation’s first responders Tuesday at the AIHce EXP 2018 conference.

Speakers will include first responders, occupational safety experts, and a White House drug control official. Participants will discuss the risks of opioid exposure and the critical steps necessary to adequately train and protect first responders on the job. AIHA warns that every day a wide range of first responders are in danger of potentially fatal opioid exposures, including firefighters, EMTs, nurses, doctors, law enforcement, and crime lab technicians.
