Refresher Program: Identifying and Managing People Under the Influence of Drugs and Alcohol
Employees who come to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol pose significant risks to workplace safety and productivity. When fitness for work declines, the likelihood of accidents and incidents increases, which can negatively impact workplace morale and culture. Additionally, such behavior can jeopardise compliance with workplace safety laws and endanger important contracts.

- Testing in the Workplace: Refresh your knowledge on conducting urine, oral, and alcohol breath testing, including the necessary confirmation testing requirements and chain of custody procedures.
- Policies and Procedures: Reacquaint yourself with relevant policies and procedures, and stay updated on applicable laws.
- Proper Equipment: Review the selection and use of appropriate equipment for your testing program to ensure accuracy and reliability.
- Program Implementation: Gain insights into maintaining a comprehensive testing program and upholding high standards throughout the process.
- Workforce Education: Reinforce the importance of educating your employees on their responsibilities and the significance of maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
