Opioid Tookit


Ohio's employers are asking what they should do about the opioid problem in their own workplaces. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce convened a task force to explore the options. One recommendation coming out of the task force was for employers to be armed with a toolkit of resources to be better prepared to prevent and respond to the problem. With the help and expertise of a member company, Working Partners®, and financial support from member company, Anthem, we have developed the Opioid Toolkit containing several resources free of charge to any company that is doing business in Ohio.

Contents Of The ToolKit Include

For Employers:

Online Course: Dose of Reality for EMPLOYERS

Additional Resources:

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Sharing SolutionsOhio Co-Rx/Naloxone program

Again, thank you to our member companies who helped make this project happen:


For Employers

updated June 2024 with new modules!


ONLINE COURSE: A Dose of Reality for Employers

A toolkit to help mitigate the risks associated with Ohio's Opioid crisis

This 8-module course gives an overview of the legal and operational issues an employer must consider in dealing with an employee’s use of opioids and other substances. In May 2021, we added 3 new modules that focusing on employee recovery. The modules include best practices around how, when and why to drug test; how to handle a situation if the employee confesses or is discovered to be using harmful substances; and much more. Although each module contains valuable information, it is not necessary that they be watched in order or in their entirety.
