How to Create a Drug-Free Workplace Program that Meets Regulations!

Why Should You Attend:

The new Marijuana legalization regulations have impacted Employers whether they are in a state where Marijuana has legalized medicinal and recreational usage. In addition to federal restrictions and state restrictions, many Employers do not know what leverage or power they have to manage the balance between legal Marijuana usage and managing a true drug-free workplace program. This challenge impacts not only OSHA guidelines but it also impacts the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and HIPPA Guidelines. Employers need guidance they can follow. This training provides that guidance and will help Employers reduce their risk!
