Opioids and Cannabis, Part 2 (AIHce EXP 2022 OnDemand)
Course Description:
Recorded at AIHce EXP 2022

Current workplace opioid and cannabis testing are not adequate to address the ever-changing opioid landscape and the differences in Federal and State cannabis regulations. Substance use disorder (SUD) impacts workplace safety and many employers do not have drug policies that are supportive of workers with SUD. As a result, some workers that may wish to be in recovery are concerned with retribution and do not seek treatment, but rather come to work and may jeopardize their own safety and that of others. Part 2 of this two-part education session will present: 1) Impact of the Emerging Cannabis Industry on Workplace Safety and the Challenges in Evaluating Impairment; and 2) Cannabis and Drug Testing, What's an MRO and Employer to Do.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this lecture, attendees will:
  • • Leverage workplace multidisciplinary teams to address substance use concerns.
  • • Discuss negative impacts of the opioid crisis on workers and employers.
  • • Identify nuances associated with cannabis testing in defining workplace cannabis impairment.
