Greetings,

In 2017, five employees overdosed and died in the workplace in Kentucky, representing 7.4% of the state’s fatalities last year. As drug use in Kentucky rises, employers are becoming more likely to have members of their work force misuse drugs and overdose while performing work duties.

Please take a moment to view our latest Hazard Alert concerning these preventable fatalities at: http://www.mc.uky.edu/kiprc/files/osh/2018/overdosealert.pdf. Included in the alert are historical cases of overdose-related fatalities, information on training and education, and recommendations for prevention. Feel free to use this alert for worker safety training.

Please take a moment to complete our brief, anonymous survey concerning the contents of this alert. We value and appreciate any feedback you may have: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_40dJEL3FQqUCDmB

OSHA has determined that there are four main safety hazards, excluding transportation incidents, that account for a majority of all construction worker deaths each year on the job-site. Nicknamed the "Fatal Four" by OSHA, these include falls, electrocutions, being struck by objects, and getting caught in or between hazards. Statistics show in 2016, 63.7% of all fatalities at construction sites were from one of OSHA's Fatal Four.
