Maintain a drug-free workplace and understand related policies
What you'll be able to do
•Explain what a drug-free workplace policy typically prohibits, including on-the-job impairment and possession
•Identify observable signs of impairment that warrant reporting rather than diagnosing or confronting a coworker yourself
•Follow the correct reporting path when you have a reasonable, fact-based concern
•Understand how testing situations such as reasonable-suspicion or post-incident testing generally work
Who it's for
All employees, and especially those in safety-sensitive roles such as operating equipment, driving, or handling machinery. Also relevant for supervisors who may need to act on a reasonable-suspicion observation.
What changes on the job
•Safer worksites because impairment concerns get reported through the right channel instead of ignored
•Employees who understand their obligations before an incident rather than after one
•Supervisors who document observations factually instead of making accusations

Does this cover testing procedures for my specific state?
It covers general concepts such as reasonable-suspicion and post-incident testing. Drug-testing rules vary by state and by whether a role is safety-sensitive, so your company policy and local law control the specifics.
What if prescription medication affects my work?
