Report Description:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not fully implement the requirements of the Synthetic Opioid Exposure Prevention and Training Act. Specifically, CBP did not: • issue a component-wide policy to safely handle potential synthetic opioids; • make naloxone available or readily accessible to all personnel at risk of exposure to opioids; and • require initial and recurrent training for all personnel at risk of opioid exposure. This happened because CBP did not ensure that the Act’s requirements were implemented.
