Meanwhile, the agency will receive better insight into the kinds of medications prescribed to injured workers and pharmacists will automatically be notified with any safety concerns associated with the medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Today is a very encouraging day for the effective treatment of injured federal workers,&#8221; said acting Secretary of Labor Patrick Pizzella in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We have made significant improvements in reducing opioid use and will now have additional tools necessary to expand efforts to improve the safety and quality of medication delivery for all injured federal workers, while also being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/management\/2019\/07\/22\/how-cbp-employees-were-left-in-danger-of-opioid-exposure\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/39986928303_e70284e227_o-Cropped.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">How CBP employees were left in danger of opioid exposure<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers risk accidental exposure to lethal opioid doses without proper agency procedures.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Witnesses and members of Congress at a May 2018 hearing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2018\/05\/08\/injured-feds-are-at-higher-risk-of-opioid-addiction\/\" target=_blank>criticized the Department of Labor<\/a> for remaining well behind established standards for opioid use in administering the Federal Employee Compensation Act program, which provides compensation and treatment to federal employees injured on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those Labor policies allowed employees to be prescribed opioids for 60 days before requiring a letter of medical necessity from a doctor and allowed for patients to receive two different opioid prescriptions at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard practice suggests a seven-day limit for a single opioid prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith a larger team of pharmacists and nurses available through Coventry, the Department will now have the ability to review an expanded list of injured worker medication profiles, and to perform outreach to prescribers,\u201d the agency news release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo date, this intensive outreach has only been available to a group of injured workers prescribed opioids at a high dosage. This will allow injured federal workers to receive the best possible medication regimens for their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Postal Service workers are the <a
