Medical Cannabis Use & Drug-Testing Updates
On-Demand Recording
37 states are now enacting their own medical cannabis laws, and to complicate matters, these state rules conflict with existing federal laws which govern cannabis use and employment, plus government contracts.
In addition, OSHA’s rules on drug testing have changed again, and more states have embedded worker protections in their cannabis law revisions.
In this 60-minute program we’ll cover the latest information on cannabis laws, workers’ compensation reimbursement, drug-testing, OSHA enforcement, and key case decisions you need to know. Join us as we cover:
- Types of drug testing allowed by OSHA and which practices may trigger a citation
- Medical use of cannabis: Federal ADA versus state versions of ADA laws
- Components of an effective (and legal) substance abuse prevention program
- Which states order employers to pay for cannabis used to treat workplace injuries
- Handling impairment issues and how legal CBD use can complicate drug testing
Medical Cannabis Use Updates Impacting Employers
- Post election update: which states have newly legalized medical and recreational cannabis use, - and is federal legalization next?
- How the ADA protects some types of drug use and how cannabis fits in
- Expanded protections under state ADA laws for cannabis use
- Workers’ compensation laws protecting workers’ use of cannabis in lieu of opiates
- Using the “Direct Threat to Safety” defense to avoid accommodating a cannabis user
Updates to Drug Testing Policies – What You Can & Can’t Do
- How OSHA drug testing policy changes under the Biden administration
- Return-to-work drug-testing for medical cannabis users
- What happens when legal CBD products trigger a positive cannabis test?
- New drug testing methodologies that may be able to capture “impairment”
We’ll answer the top questions Safety Managers and employers are asking, including:
- Is there is difference in when employers must allow medical cannabis use from state to state?
- What are the types of post-injury drug tests permitted by OSHA?
- Can we routinely test all injured workers - regardless of cause?
- How likely is federal cannabis legalization, and how could that impact our organization’s “zero tolerance” policies?
