Please find attached a newly adopted IAB publication, Recommendations on Selection and Use of Personal Protective Equipment and Decontamination Products for First Responders Against Exposure Hazards to Synthetic Opioids, Including Fentanyl and Fentanyl Analogues. This document establishes guidance for personal protective equipment selection and use, decontamination, detection, and medical countermeasures for first responders who may be exposed to opioids in the course of their occupational activities. This paper has been uploaded to the IAB public website (link below). The Program Office will distribute this paper via our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) and outreach distribution list in the coming days. These documents are considered public and may be distributed as you see fit.
