Description

This presentation will shed light on how to approach worker impairment on the job to keep your jobsites safe and drug-free. The construction industry faces especially unique challenges with the legalization of cannabis in multiple states as well as more prevalent accessibility of other substances that can affect worker impairment. These issues are raising major safety concerns among contractors and may lead to increased risk of accidents and injuries. This session will cover optimal approaches for contractors to effectively respond to impaired workers on the job.
