Training & Policy Development
Over our 20 years in business we have successfully introduced substance abuse prevention programs to both large and small corporations, union and non-union work forces across Canada. We are firm believers that drug and alcohol testing combined with education and access to assistance can and does provide a safer work environment. A safe work environment means healthy and productive workers, which translates into healthy families and communities.
Drug Awareness Training
A Substance Abuse Prevention Policy is most effective when supervisors and managers are trained in recognizing the signs and symptoms of substance abuse. In addition, training your employees to understand your policy is proven to enhance your Substance Abuse Program.
