Canada's construction news
The federal government’s latest report on opioid overdoses across the country suggests measures taken to combat the crisis have not yet had the effect of slowing its use.
When broken down by sex and age, men between the ages of 20 and 59 continue to be the most impacted, accounting for 64 per cent of opioid-related deaths. That report, titled Lives Lost to Opioid Toxicity among Ontarians who Worked in the Construction Industry, found there were 428 opioid toxicity deaths among workers who had a history of employment in the construction industry from July 2017 to the end of 2020 in Ontario.
Nationally, since 2016, approximately three of four opioids-related deaths claimed men, and 30 to 50 per cent of those employed worked in trades at the time of their death.
