Substance Abuse Awareness for Supervisors: Alcohol, Opiates, and Marijuana in the Workplace



This DOT reasonable suspicion training helps managers and supervisors become better aware of drug and alcohol use by their employees.

 

The US is facing a severe opiate abuse crisis, including pills and Heroin. Recent changes in state marijuana and medical marijuana use have made it difficult for companies, HR managers, and managers and supervisors to know what is now legal or illegal when it comes to pot use by employees, on and off the job. This webinars covers the most common drugs of use and abuse, including stimulants, like meth and cocaine; hallucinogens; opiates; marijuana; alcohol; depressants, and dissociative anesthetics. The session discusses the protocols for drug testing, results discussions, and return to work.

Why Should You Attend

It’s difficult for many managers and supervisors to develop the courage to confront suspected drug and alcohol use in their employees. They often don’t trust their intuition about suspected drug or alcohol use and may rationalize the employee’s performance or behavior. They don’t know how to send the employee for testing or treatment.
