• Summary:The impact of alcohol and drugs on the Canadian wokplace continues to be a major challenge for emplyers, supervisors, workers, union and other stakeholders. However, there is a growing consensus that proactive action must and can be taken. The priority of workplace safety, fitness for duty and testing are becoming more commonplace. Organized labour is getting into the prevention dialogue. Jurisprudence has been updated and the law has become more important than ever in this complex workplace challenge. The legalization of cannabis on October 17, 2018 made Canada only the second country in the world to broadly legalize recreational cannabis. This has and will continue to have a number of implications and effects on workplaces across Canada. This fourth edition of the book has a new chapter on the legalization of cannabis and its effect on the workplace. Each chapter has been updated and the Supreme Court decision in Elk Valley Caol, dealing with human rights legislation on drug use in the workplace, has been covered. The practical implications for alcohol and drugs in the workplace are immense.
