Course Content

Specifically designed for managers and supervisors, this detailed training workshop will help you to recognise and understand:

• What reasonable suspicion is, and
• Steps that should be taken in accordance with your alcohol and drug policy and procedure.

Determining what ‘reasonable suspicion’ is can be a tough and uncomfortable decision to make, especially for a manager or supervisor with no previous training. Safework Health can provide this expertise and offer advice on how to manage this type of situation.

Each session is tailored to include the processes outlined in your drug and alcohol policy and procedure.

This course provides the skills, knowledge, and tools to identify and manage a worker who may be potentially ‘under the influence’ or suffering from a condition and displaying signs and symptoms that appear similar to being ‘under the influence’. An Observation Checklist will be customised for your company.
