Description:

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) Program received a request for an evaluation from a city in Ohio. The request concerned possible unintentional exposure to opioids among police officers and fire fighters during first responder activities. In January 2018, the city provided us with reports from the city's risk management database for eight possible opioid exposure incidents in 2017 involving eight police officers. As of April 25, 2018, there had been no reports of potential opioid exposures among fire fighters. This interim report summarizes our evaluation of these eight reported incidents. Ohio was one of three states with more than 20 law enforcement encounters involving fentanyl per 100,000 residents in 2015 [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2016]. At the time of this evaluation, the police department had approximately 1,000 sworn officers and 125 civilian employees.
