Workplace Application:
Learn how to support workplace safety in light of expanded marijuana legalization and drug testing restrictions.  

Marijuana is legal for recreational use in more than 20 states and for medical use in more than 35. State marijuana laws are a complex maze of regulations, with some restricting drug testing. How do you navigate everything while maintaining safety standards? Should TCH be on your testing panel? What about CBD, Delta 8, and Delta 10? These raise concerns as well.

We will break it all down and provide information on how to handle issues that arise. This presentation will address:

  • The question of impairment
  • Medical marijuana accommodation requests
  • Oral fluid testing vs. hair testing
  • Safety measures available for every workplace
  • Drug policy best practices

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn why marijuana can be illegal on the federal level yet legal under state laws.
  • Understand where employers can get tripped up by state laws.
  • Understand why marijuana testing is controversial.
  • Learn how to use your drug and alcohol policy to support workplace safety.
