HandsOn Central Ohio is partnering with the Central Ohio Poison Center to offer free poison prevention training to volunteers and community members. Poisoning could happen to anyone and it is on the rise! Is your home poison safe? Poisoning related deaths have surpassed motor vehicle crashes in Ohio mainly due to prescription pain medication misuse and abuse. This interactive demonstration and discussion will highlight incidents and costs of poisonings. In addition, participants will learn how to poison proof a home, how to avoid medication mistakes, what to do in case of a poisoning emergency, learn about poison center services, the role of poison centers in a mass casualty event and more. The training is November 30th from 6 to 8pm at HandsOn Central Ohio. Please RSVP to Rebeccah Verhoff, rverhoff@handsoncentralohio.org or 614.221.6766 ext. 130.
We hope to see you there!
