About this listen

In this episode of the Addiction Practice Pod, journalist David P. Ball and occupational addiction medicine physician and supreme court expert Dr. Deborah Kason discuss how to navigate substance use care for people working in construction and other safety-sensitive jobs. This type of work involves risks of harm to the worker, others, or property if proper safety precautions are not taken. They also speak with Greg Hemminger, who coordinates a harm reduction education program for construction workers called the Tailgate Toolkit and brings his own lived experience of opioid addiction and recovery. For a clinical perspective, they speak with addiction and occupational medicine physician Dr. John Koehn on how he helps his clients re-enter the workplace safely and the power of relationship building in this area of medicine.
