At Wilmot Modular Structures, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our team, which is why we've made it a point to train our employees on how and when to use Narcan in the event of an overdose.

 

The construction industry is unfortunately seeing a rise in substance use disorders, often linked to the demanding nature of the work and the frequent use of prescription painkillers following injuries. Our commitment to safety extends beyond the job site, recognizing that Narcan is a vital tool that can save lives in minutes.

 

The construction industry faces unique challenges that contribute to the increase in substance use disorders. Workers often deal with physical pain and injuries, leading to prescriptions for painkillers. While these medications are meant to aid recovery, they can sometimes lead to dependency, and in some cases, this escalates to the use of illicit drugs.

 

Narcan (naloxone) is a medication specifically designed to reverse opioid overdoses quickly. During our recent Lunch & Learn, we equipped our employees with the knowledge and skills needed to administer Narcan effectively. This training ensures that our team can act swiftly and potentially save lives, whether on the job or in the community. Providing this training is a critical part of our broader commitment to safety and community well-being.

 

Beyond our commitment to safety training, we understand that addressing substance use disorders also involves providing adequate treatment spaces. As drug use becomes more prevalent, the demand for rehabilitation services grows. If your rehabilitation center is expanding or needs additional patient space, Wilmot Modular Structures can help. Our modular buildings offer a fast, flexible, and cost-effective solution to meet the growing needs of treatment facilities. Whether you need temporary or permanent structures, we can design and deliver spaces that support your mission to help those in recovery.

 

The increasing prevalence of drug misuse in the workplace is a serious issue that requires proactive measures. Educating our employees and providing lifesaving tools like Narcan is essential to fostering a safe and supportive work environment. Additionally, by offering modular solutions to rehabilitation centers, we contribute to the broader fight against the opioid crisis, helping to ensure that treatment facilities have the space they need to provide care.
