SIA Webinar: Substance use in the workplace and OHS considerations

On behalf of the safety institute of Australia and the Penington Institute , we invite you to join us for a webinar on Substance use in the workplace and OHS considerations.

Penington Institute’s webinar will focus on Australia’s approach to harm reduction as applied to substance use, which  has delivered extensive benefits to communities generally, as well as to those who engage in substance use.

Penington Institute leads the national conversation about harm reduction, focusing on treating substance use as a health issue.  We are building more effective responses to substance usage than simple prohibition by focusing on community safety.  We also ensure that human dignity and health are at the very centre of what we do.

Key Learning Outcomes

The webinar will provide an overview on the following:

• Present contemporary information about substance use in Australia and projected future trends.
• inform participants about the bases of substance use as an issue for OHS professionals.
• outline details of the content in training programs which support individuals in the community who are affected by drug use.
