Published 2 months ago
Description
Opioid detections in workplaces are rising sharply.
Workplace testing firm the Drug Detection Agency says detections of opioids like morphine and fentanyl has increased by more than a third in the past year.
In Taranaki, it's recording almost five times as many opioids as the previous year.
