The Senate Resolution introduced by Kane and others designates the week of July 21 through 25, 2025, as "Construction Opioid Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania. This initiative aims to address the significant impact of the opioid crisis on the construction industry, which has the highest rate of overdose deaths among various occupations. The resolution highlights the alarming statistics surrounding opioid-related deaths, particularly the 54,743 overdose deaths involving opioids in 2024, and emphasizes the vulnerability of the construction workforce, which often engages in physically demanding labor and includes an aging demographic.

The resolution encourages construction organizations and contractors to promote awareness of opioid dangers and prescription drug abuse among workers. It outlines various efforts already underway, such as educational resources provided by the National Safety Council, the distribution of naloxone on job sites, and the support for the 988 mental health crisis hotline. The resolution calls for collaboration among multiple construction industry groups to facilitate discussions and events, including "Drug Take Back" initiatives, to combat the opioid epidemic effectively within Pennsylvania's construction sector.
