SAFETY

Synthetic Opioid Containment

Narcotics Containment

Narcotics include a wide range of drugs that are either naturally derived from the opium poppy plant, like morphine and heroin, or partially or entirely synthesized. These narcotics are man-made without the need for cultivation and harvesting of plants. This leads to faster, and cheaper, production of the drugs.

Lowering production times and reducing overhead costs benefits the prescription drug market where narcotics are used legally to treat chronic, long-term pain. It also, however, contributes to the growing crisis as narcotics are easier to develop and can yield a larger profit.

As dependence increases across the globe and illegal distribution of narcotics continues to grow, more people are at risk of fatal overdose. First responders, law enforcement officers, and medical professionals all face risks of accidental exposure to particulates. To increase personnel safety, those at risk of accidental exposure should take extra precautions to improve existing safety procedures by using ductless containment enclosures.

Containment in Mail Handling

Containment Safety Packages

Narcotics are often shipped to the US, Canada, and Europe from laboratories in China where production is uncontrolled. Purchased online, narcotics are then shipped via the US Postal Service. This puts mail handlers at risk of exposure to particulates and powders found in suspicious or damaged packages and envelopes.
