December 13 is coming. "Sufficient number" is not a number — until we calculate yours.

The proposed rule prescribes no quantity, no inspection schedule, no template. "Sufficient" is judged after the fact.

One untrained shift, one expired lot, one shared-site plan nobody wrote down — each is a standalone gap.

A law-firm memo costs $300–$600/hr and still leaves you to build the roster and the log yourself.

I build readiness files for New York employers, so let me be straight about what NY Labor Law §27-f actually asks of you. From December 13, 2026, private employers who must keep first-aid supplies readily available have to keep an opioid antagonist — naloxone — on hand. But the proposed rules published September 23 deliberately set no number, no inspection schedule and no form. “Sufficient” gets judged after the fact, on your worksite’s size and layout, your staffing, the nature of the work, public access and overdose history. Government employers are excluded — everyone else has to invent the math and be able to defend it.

The stakes are not the medication. The stakes are the gaps: one shift with nobody trained on duty, one expired lot nobody logged, one shared workplace where every tenant assumed another tenant wrote the plan. Each one is a standalone failure. A law firm will explain that to you at $300 to $600 an hour — and then still leave you to build the roster and the log yourself.

Here is the whole job, in order. One: a 10-minute intake — worksites, zones and floors, headcount per shift, public access, overdose history, the stock you already hold and its expiry dates. Two: your profile runs through the §27-f readiness checker, built on the proposed-rule factors, and every flag gets hand-verified. Three: in 5 business days your pack lands — coverage memo, a quantity calculation that shows its work, a placement map per zone near your AEDs and first-aid kits, a training roster proving at least one trained employee on every shift across the four required topics, an inspection and expiry log with replacement triggers, a location-notice kit for staff, and a shared-workplace plan draft if your site is shared. The Readiness Audit is $149 for one workplace — coverage check, quantity and placement calculation, gap report. The Ready Pack with everything above is $449, additional sites $199 each. Sentinel is $79 a month for expiry reminders, roster-drift checks and the rule-change watch.

Now the honest beat. The medication itself may cost you nothing: the Ready Pack includes a sourcing sheet for the New York State, city and county programs that distribute naloxone at low or no cost, plus free training sources — retail is only about $45 for a two-dose pack anyway. And if the Audit finds you are not covered, the report says so plainly, and that answer is the deliverable. We never sell medication, and this is readiness documentation — not legal advice, not medical advice.

You run a workplace, not a compliance department. Proving you are ready is a paperwork job with a deadline — and paperwork with deadlines is exactly what I do. Start with the Audit, find out whether you are covered and what “sufficient” means at your address, and walk into December 13 with a file instead of a hope.
