Overview
This bill requires California employers who provide CPR certification training to also require their employees to complete an online video module on the use of naloxone, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses. The Emergency Medical Services Authority will review and approve these training modules to ensure they meet minimum standards, and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health will enforce the new requirement. The bill also provides an exception for employees who have already completed qualifying training programs.
