OSHA's Position On Drugs and Alcohol Training

Drug and alcohol abuse are topics that concern workplace management in just about every industry imaginable.

But it’s acknowledged that these issues can be difficult to approach without the proper training. Additionally, OSHA has definite views on how training should be conducted and in some cases, training is federally mandated.
