Addressing substance use and impairment in the workplace is a complex process.
Areas of consideration include:
- Health effects and recognizing impairment
- Employer’s occupational health, safety, and human rights duties
- Creating and amending workplace policies
- Whether testing procedures may or may not be permitted
- Addiction and/or cannabis for medical purposes - accommodating employees and necessary steps
- Addressing suspected, and responding to impairment
This is a lot of responsibility, and it can be challenging to know where to turn to for assistance. We have created an Employer Guide to Addressing Cannabis in the Workplace.
