WORK to Save Lives Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Labor, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to issue voluntary guidance to employers within 270 days. The guidance would cover getting and keeping opioid overdose reversal medication and training employees each year on how to use it. The United States Postal Service would not be covered by the employer guidance. The bill would also require OSHA to issue regulations within 270 days that make every federal agency, including the Veterans Health Administration, keep this medication on hand and train employees each year on its use.
