To require the Secretary of Labor to issue guidance and regulations regarding opioid overdose reversal medication and employee training.

H.R. 7479 would direct the Secretary of Labor to develop and issue guidance and regulations regarding opioid overdose reversal medication and related employee training. The bill addresses workplace safety by establishing standards for how employers should handle opioid overdose situations and prepare their workforce to respond to such emergencies.

If enacted, this legislation could require employers to implement training programs for employees on recognizing and responding to opioid overdoses, potentially including the use of overdose reversal medications like naloxone. The practical effect would be to create a more standardized approach across workplaces to address the opioid crisis at the employment level. Currently, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in February 2026 and referred to committee for consideration.
