COAA Position Statement on Marijuana and Workplace Safety
The Government of Canada has announced legislative changes that will de-criminalize the growth, sale, possession and consumption of marijuana. As such, several questions have been stimulated regarding how these impending changes will affect workplace safety. The COAA has long held the position that unacceptable safety risks are created when alcohol and drugs are used in a way which can impair cognition and/or reaction times on safety-sensitive worksites.
Best Practices Implementation Map
The map provides a list of the Best Practices and Resources offered by COAA, and includes markers to demonstrate where in the project timeline to start, implement and stop each Best Practice.
