About This Course

A coworker who has had too much to drink, taken something before their shift, or even started a new medication that morning can look almost normal right up until the moment something goes wrong. In a workplace full of moving machinery, forklifts, ladders, chemicals, and vehicles, that moment can turn serious in a hurry. The goal of this course is simple: help you recognize when drugs or alcohol are creating a hazard, understand your workplace policy, and know how to get help, for yourself or a coworker, before anyone gets hurt.

•    Define what it means to be fit for duty
•    Explain how impairment affects workplace safety
•    Recognize the physical, behavioral, and performance signs of impairment
•    Describe the common types of workplace drug testing
•    Identify your responsibilities and those of your coworkers, employer, and supervisor, and

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
