Course Description
Every employer has a responsibility to provide a safe work environment for its employees. Many employers are also responsible for the safety of others, including customers, suppliers, and even the general public. When safety is compromised because an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the employer is potentially liable for any resulting harm. Supervisors are responsible for understanding and enforcing the organization’s policies on drugs and alcohol in the workplace.
This course shows supervisors how to recognize and evaluate the signs of impairment due to drug and alcohol abuse. The course covers different types of drugs, requirements for reasonable suspicion, rules for drug and alcohol testing, and how to respond to test results.
