Webinar Overview
Substance misuse in the workplace is a critical issue, especially within high-risk industries such as construction, mining, transportation and manufacturing. The physical demands, stress, and work conditions in these sectors contribute to a higher incidence of substance use disorders (SUDs) and drug-related deaths.

Learning Objectives:
- Understand the patterns of drug use and addiction among workers
- Identify the challenges of behavioral health on organizational and project performance
