Register Now – Substance Abuse Training at OCA
Employers must know and understand a wide array of information about substance abuse. Those within your organization who are responsible for conveying and applying substance abuse policies and practices to all employees must be properly trained. OCA is excited to be partnering with its new associate member, Global Drug Concepts (GDC) to provide an excellent, comprehensive substance abuse training program for the highway, heavy, and utility construction industry.
GDC reports that over 70% of drug abusers in the U.S. are employed and create very real problems and safety risks within their workplace. There are few, if any work venues that don’t experience or have present issues with substance abuse. GDC is committed to providing the most current and relevant training for substance abuse in the workplace. This program will equip front line supervisors, managers, and even employees to recognize the hazards of substance abuse if someone is working under the influence or impaired. In addition, GDC’s program educates on how substance abuse effects individuals, their workplace and their families.
GDC was recently formed by law enforcement officers with over 90 years of combined experience in the police field, and over 50 years of combined experience in the drug abuse field, including undercover work at the local, state and federal levels. Register now for this excellent training opportunity!
