Tracks: Implementation and Operation

Not maintaining a sound and effective drug-free workplace policy in these rapidly and radically changing times can be daunting – and can carry significant safety, financial and legal risks to employers. It’s critical to structure a defensible policy based on today’s newest challenges, including managing the impact of marijuana use, conduct and impairment. In this session, you’ll learn about conflicting federal, state and local laws; employer rights and challenges regarding marijuana; labor shortages and the bottom line; pain medications; and drug testing and shorter windows of detection.
