Feel Confident Creating Cannabis Policies at Work

Learn how to manage cannabis legalization safety at your workplace

With cannabis legalization in Canada, workplace rules are due for a change. Previous policies on illicit substances often no longer apply — and that creates risks.

Your right as an employer to have a safe and effective workplace must now co-exist with your employees’ rights to consume cannabis legally and be accommodated for medical conditions.

Where do you draw the line? What do you need to know to update substance use policies and create cannabis safety programs that work?

Now, you can fast-track the process through online training that’s:

• Interactive
• Engaging
• Visual
• User-friendly
• Clear
• Memorable
• Self-paced
• Time-effective
• On-demand
• Mobile-friendly
