Education
WorkCare are regarded as experts and leaders in the Drug and Alcohol testing industry. We have developed a training package that complements our client’s needs, as Drug and Alcohol policies will vary from organisations so will our training. This will allow it to be more focused around company’s individual drug and alcohol policy. We have a limited number of specialised presenters who not only have experience in the industry but are trained in how to deliver adult education (NZQA 7108 and 7115). This is so that the consistency will remain the same and there is no variance or misinterpretation in the message that is conveyed to the team.
We have various drug and alcohol educational courses, for both employee and employer. It is our goal to educate people on the affects drugs and alcohol have on employees’ health and companies’ revenue.
Management Training
During this 1 day training course, we stress the importance of identifying and managing risk in the workplace. What types of Drug test are out there, the difference between a Urine drug test v Oral fluid, We also cover how to implement a drug testing program, risks around not following your Drug and Alcohol policy and how to insure you can learn from case law around drug and alcohol testing.
Reasonable grounds or reasonable cause apart from the pre-employment Drug tests is one of the most important tests any company can introduce, but rarely used with some company’s never doing one, this is also where most company’s get into trouble and with a lot more case law around drug testing now it is important to get this right.
This is our expertise, insuring all your team knows that there is a Drug and Alcohol policy, how it works and what happens, also looking at risks and how to identify someone of being a risk of impairment as a result of drugs or alcohol and how to manage this, not after the fact “I thought something was wrong” or “ someone told me they were on drugs” not only preventing risks in regards to Health and safety but insuring that they minimises the risks of any personal grievances by not following their policy or procedures.
This is tailored to your company’s needs.
Employee Training
Instead of explaining to your team how and why they are being drug tested, let the experts do it for you. WorkCare New Zealand will meet with your staff and educate them on why it is important to remain drug-free and how drug use negatively affects the business and community. We will answer all the questions like “How long does cannabis stay in the system for “and “Can you fail a drug test from second hand smoke” and any other concerns they may have
Refresher Training
New drugs are developed frequently and new case law is introduced. We keep you up-to-date with changes to procedures and new drugs and the behaviours that help you identify them. Our commitment to our clients is to be relentless in eliminating drugs from the workplace.
It is important that business are informed and up to date with legislative changes and reforms.
Community Education
We offer a number of programs aimed at helping youth and community members avoid getting caught up in drug use. These programs educate individuals on the effects drugs and alcohol has on the community. Looking at offering a service to help schools and caregivers from Drug and Alcohol Testing for welfare to educating schools on drug use.
