Addiction in the Workplace |
Please join us for lunch on Thursday September 20, 2018 at the
Fairmont Palliser Hotel, 133 – 9 Ave. SW Calgary. |
|
Preparing for the legalization of cannabis in Canada in October, many organizations are concerned with how to continue to manage substance abuse issues in the workplace. Commonly, policy and procedure development helps prepare for this change. However, questions involving clinical treatment and health management arise once substance abuse actually shows up in your workplace. This presentation will highlight the presence and impairment issues associated with cannabis (along with the most commonly used substance -- alcohol) and move into a discussion of steps to consider for safety-sensitive and decision-critical employees. |
This session will be presented by:  | Doug Mckibbon, M.Ed., R. Psych., CEAP

A registered psychologist (Alberta) since 1993, he works closely with individual employees and workplaces to ensure the resolution of individual mental/behavioural health issues and the organization’s need to manage employee health/safety. Much of his work focuses on individuals and companies regarding substance abuse and policy development/implementation concerning alcohol and drug abuse/fitness for duty protocols. Doug also taught addictions counselling at the University of Lethbridge in 2000-2001. Previously he worked at United Airlines (2001-2017) where he provided mental health and substance abuse services to all employee work groups and their families.
