Key Features

an interactive CD-ROM training program

This training program is also available in video format (see related products link near bottom of this page).

Substance abuse is a huge, worldwide problem. In the United States alone there are over 50 million binge drinkers, 17 million illegal drug users and almost 15 million people who abuse prescription medications. Most substance abusers have jobs. In fact, it is estimated that one out of every ten workers has a substance abuse problem. An employee with an alcohol or drug problem can decrease productivity, create a hostile work environment and damage a company's good name. Worst of all, the actions of a worker who is "under the influence" can completely undermine a company's efforts to keep people safe.

The second in a two-part series on dealing with drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace, the CD-ROM "Dealing with Drug and Alcohol Abuse… for Managers and Supervisors" discusses the various forms of substance abuse that are typically found in the workplace, how managers and supervisors can detect substance abuse problems, and what they should… and shouldn't… do if they discover a worker with a substance abuse problem. The CD-ROM includes information on:

• How substance abuse can affect a workplace.
• Laws and regulations related to substance abuse.
• How to help create an alcohol and drug-free workplace.
• The role of education and testing in preventing substance abuse.
• Recognizing on-the-job substance abuse.
• How to handle substance abuse situations.
• and more.

Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course from the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library provides the most cost-effective training available today. The course features platform software which installs automatically, and comprehensive user's and trainer's guides. The course takes about 45 minutes to complete (depending on the employee), and is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood... and retained.

Also designed with the training manager in mind, all courses in the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library come with a complete learning management system (LMS) at no additional cost. Using this system, trainers can set up "pre" and "post" tests... establish log-in procedures... even define and set up curriculum for various job classes. The system also allows employee performance information to be collected and organized through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of recordkeeping and tracking reports... and has a database "import/export" feature, which permits information to be transferred to and from an external database (such as a company's personnel database and/or another learning management system).

The course is one of over 100 titles currently available in the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library. Other interactive courses on safety and regulatory compliance topics (including Spanish language courses) are currently being developed and will be available soon.

Available in English.
