Fentanyl Related Hazards
It’s no secret that America is in the midst of an opioid crisis, and there have been highly publicized cases of first responders and law enforcement experiencing startling and troubling symptoms after being exposed to fentanyl in the field. As this chapter of the crisis unfolds, it’s more important than ever that the responder community take great caution when encountering this substance and its derivatives. The key component in keeping them safe will be the use of appropriate and effective personal protective equipment (PPE). Depending on the wearer’s role and the particulars of the situation, different PPE may be called for, but here at Enviro we believe in preparing for every contingency.
