Why this training matters
Drugs and alcohol at work create safety risks and legal exposure for both the individual and the employer.
Drug and Alcohol Awareness explains how drugs and alcohol affect performance and safety at work. It covers employer and employee legal duties, the signs of misuse, and how workplace policy, testing and confidentiality work. It also covers support, treatment and returning to work, which is why managers, team leaders and HR find it especially useful.
