Why Supervisor Training and Impairment Recognition Matter:

Because of exact test panel limitations, experts increasingly recommend that employers focus on impairment and fitness-for-duty rather than relying exclusively on drug testing. Supervisors should be trained to recognize signs of impairment, including confusion, slowed reaction times, excessive drowsiness, poor coordination, and unsafe behaviors. At the same time, organizations should avoid asking managers to diagnose substance use disorders or identify specific drugs. The goal is to ensure workplace safety, not to conduct medical evaluations.

Kratom is a plant from Southeast Asia. While some people use regular kratom for energy or pain relief, kratom 7-OH is a different story.

7-OH (also called “7-Hydro” or “legal morphine”) is a very strong chemical found in the kratom plant. It’s naturally present in tiny, tiny amounts.

7-OH is much stronger than other parts of the kratom plant and behaves like an opioid. The FDA recently reported that 7-OH can be 13 times more powerful than morphine. This makes its use incredibly risky.

While 7-OH is found in the kratom plant, most 7-OH products you see are made in a lab:

Scientists take the small amount of 7-OH from the plant and then create more of it.
This concentrated 7-OH is then added to products like drinks, gummies, and powders to make them much stronger.

These products can have bright, eye-catching packaging and kid-friendly flavors like pineapple, strawberry, and lemon, which can be especially appealing to younger people.

People who have become addicted to 7OH report that sellers will encourage them to try it saying that it is more powerful than the kratom they were using without explaining the risks. Free samples are also commonly offered.
