Substance Abuse in the Workplace

An operator who smells of alcohol at 06:00, a driver whose random test shows cannabis, a clerk who tells you she cannot stop drinking: each needs a different response. This course gives you a lawful, practical way to manage substance risks at work, from the policy on paper to the decision on the day, so that people are safe, treated fairly and helped where they need help.
