Many states, including California, now allow marijuana for medical or recreational use, which raises hard questions for employers. This 90-minute webinar on marijuana in the workplace explains the challenges cannabis creates for employers and employees.
Marijuana can slow reaction times and cause irritability, loss of focus, lethargy and poor decisions. You'll learn what cannabis is, its medical uses, how it affects safety-sensitive roles, and the legal do's and don'ts, from testing programs to accommodating medical marijuana.
The central goal is to clarify how federal and state laws differ on cannabis at work, and how to write balanced, effective drug and alcohol policies.
Employers need clear answers: Can you ban marijuana use during work hours, or even with a medical recommendation? Can you keep testing for it? What about off-duty use and CDL holders? Getting this wrong creates legal and safety risk.
The session suits business owners, department supervisors and managers, HR personnel and health and safety staff.
