This online course helps workers understand their role in recognizing and responding to impairment. They’ll learn how to spot signs of impairment in themselves and others, and gain knowledge about your organization's policies and procedures to ensure a fair and safe work environment. Impairment is often associated with alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs, but it can also stem from factors such as bullying, life stresses, unresolved conflicts, and fatigue. Any substance or event that causes a lack of concentration or impairs the ability to perform tasks can be considered a disability or impairment. Impairment is a workplace hazard, and employers must address it as part of their health and safety program. Developed by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), this course enables workers to actively participate in maintaining a safe workplace. Show more
