Do you want to know how to tell if an employee is high on drugs at work? Recognizing the key indicators of drug impairment are critical in maintaining a drug free workplace. This training does not replace drug testing, rather it compliments it. Drug testing will tell you if the employee has used drugs in the past. Drug impairment training will help you determine if the employee is high on drugs right now. Drug impairment training will help you make the Reasonable Suspicion testing determination, and reduce liability and bias in the process.
