Unicon Rochester

We loved the turnout and participation at this year's Opioid Stand Down & Poker Run events put on by the Rochester Building & Construction Trades Council and CCET. Events like these help raise awareness of opioid abuse and donated funds to give support for those struggling. Construction Workers are among the most susceptible to opioid abuse, and its great to see people from across our Rochester Finger Lakes industry come together to help fight the opioid epidemic! If you missed the stand down, don't worry - you can still download all the resources to hold your own Safety Toolbox Talk on the Opioid Epidemic by visiting CCET's website: www.ConstructionTrustFLX.com
