This Drug and Alcohol Training for Employees will help educate your staff on the role drugs or alcohol might play in their lives and their work. Substance abuse is a very real problem in some workplaces, and preventing that abuse is a win-win for employers and employees. This important training will help get your staff on the right path regarding drugs, alcohol, and substance abuse.
This Drug and Alcohol Training for Employees Covers:
- What does “Substance abuse” mean, and why is it important to understand? (Examples include drinking too much alcohol, misusing over-the-counter medications or prescription pills, or using illegal drugs)
- How do drugs and alcohol affect an employee’s brain function? (Alcohol, marijuana, and certain narcotics medications slow down brain activity, whereas stimulants like crack cocaine or methamphetamines speed it up. Some drugs numb our senses and ability to function well at work, including morphine, heroin, and oxycontin)
- What are the dangers of using drugs or alcohol while at work? (for alcohol, since it has a sedating effect, it can slow an employee’s reaction time or ability to think clearly. For drugs, stimulants like cocaine or meth can create a sense of overconfidence in employees, which might make them hyperactive, compulsive, or reckless while at work)
- What are the “residual effects” of drugs or alcohol, even if an employee uses them on “their own time?” (The effects of drugs or alcohol can last several hours or even days. Therefore, if an employee consumes drugs or alcohol excessively on a Sunday night, they might well still be impaired come Monday morning. This is an important concept for employees to learn.)
