MACo Gold Corporate Partner, Chesapeake Employers Insurance, has created a “STOPioid Drug Addiction Prevention Message Kit”
for employers.
Overdose deaths caused by prescription opioids continues to grow in Maryland. From January through June 2016, 210 prescription opioid deaths were recorded in Maryland – a 10-percent increase over the first six months of 2015, according to the Maryland Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene.
As Maryland’s largest writer for workers’ compensation insurance, Chesapeake Employers Insurance believes tackling the issue of opioid drug-abuse and addiction is important on all fronts, which includes helping to promote the prevention message in your workplace. We encourage you to start the conversation, educate and make your employees aware of the life-threatening dangers associated with taking prescription opioids.
- Prevention awareness posters and flyers
- Safety articles and tip sheets on The Dangers of Prescription Opioid Medication Abuse
- Digital graphics for websites and social media.
The kit can be ordered for free by emailing: publications@ceiwc.com
