Become an Expert in Managing Drug and Alcohol Risk

A drug and alcohol incident at work is a serious risk to workplace safety and can cause real damage to a company or brand's reputation- especially if your company has a zero tolerance alcohol and drug policy. This risk can be reduced or avoided completely by knowing how to manage risk, performing drug testing in the workplace, and how to respond appropriately. Therefore, getting the right training to help you and other employees understand the risk and undertake testing effectively is essential, regardless of what industry you are in.

This includes everything from policy and procedure implementation, understanding testing processes and equipment to workforce communication. This drug and alcohol testing program is not only about learning how to test for drugs and alcohol; it is the path to becoming an expert in managing drug and alcohol risk.
