Our Drug & Alcohol Abuse for Employees training course helps workers understand the dangers of substance abuse in the workplace and how to recognize warning signs in themselves and their coworkers. According to the Department of Labor, nearly three-quarters of those who use illegal drugs are also employed, and one in every ten people in the U.S. has an alcohol problem. Substance abuse can seriously impair an employee's ability to perform their job safely, accurately, and efficiently — increasing the risk of accidents, injuries, absenteeism, and decreased productivity. This 15-minute program raises awareness of the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, helps employees understand drug testing, and points them toward available resources for getting help. Available in English and Spanish.

Commonly paired with this course for a complete drug-free workplace program:

  • Workplace Violence Prevention Training — substance abuse is a recognized contributing factor to workplace violence; pairing these two courses provides a comprehensive behavioral safety foundation.
  • Drug & Alcohol Abuse for Managers Training — the supervisor/manager version of this course, covering how to identify impaired employees, document observations, respond to policy violations, and handle referrals appropriately. Many organizations deploy both courses together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is drug and alcohol awareness training required by OSHA?

OSHA does not have a standard dedicated solely to drug and alcohol training, but employers are required under OSHA's General Duty Clause to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards — and substance abuse is a recognized workplace safety hazard. Additionally, federal contractors and grantees are required to maintain a drug-free workplace under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. Many employers include this training as part of new hire orientation and annual compliance programs.

Is this course for employees or supervisors?

This course is specifically designed for employees. It focuses on employee self-awareness, recognizing substance abuse in coworkers, understanding drug testing, and knowing where to seek help. If you are looking for training on how supervisors should handle suspected substance abuse situations, identify impaired employees, or document policy violations, a supervisor-specific course would be more appropriate.

Does this course cover marijuana use given recent legalization in many states?

This course covers general drug and alcohol awareness including illegal substance use and its workplace impacts. Regarding marijuana specifically — while many states have legalized recreational or medical use, employers generally retain the right to enforce drug-free workplace policies regardless of state law, particularly in safety-sensitive positions. We recommend pairing this training with a clearly written drug-free workplace policy that addresses your organization's specific stance.

Does this subscription automatically renew?

Yes. This is a prepaid subscription that automatically renews at the end of each term at the then-current price unless canceled. You can view, manage, or cancel your subscription at any time through your account portal.

What's the difference between Streaming, MP4, USB, and DVD?

Streaming gives you instant online access from any device — no download required. MP4 is a one-time download you host on your own platform such as an LMS, file server, or SharePoint. USB and DVD are physical media shipped to you, best for classroom training where internet access is limited or unavailable.

If I purchase the USB, can I copy the video to share with others?

No. The video on the USB is encrypted and licensed to only be played from the USB. It must be inserted in your computer for it to play.

What documentation is provided for compliance recordkeeping?

The kit includes a compliance manual, employee quiz and answer key, completion certificates, wallet/ID cards, an attendance log, a training outline, and substance & alcohol abuse supplemental printouts — everything needed to document that training was completed.

How do I access the Documentation on the DVD?

You will need to access the DVD with a computer so you can browse to the Documentation folder.
