SUMMARY:CCS January Safety Directors Forum: CBD Oil\, Marijuana and the Impact on Drug Testing
DESCRIPTION:Join CCS on January 27th from 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. for our virtual CCS Safety Directors forum on CBD Oil\, Marijuana and the Impact on Drug Testing. \nHow does recreational use of Marijuana\, and/or the use of CBD Oil Impact a CDL holder or employer of a commercial driver as well as employers with high safety sensitive functioning employees? \nWith 30+ states legalizing medical marijuana\, 10+ states plus DC legalizing recreational use\, marijuana-induced driving under the influence (DUI) is a growing safety concern. Indiana is now surrounded by states that have legalized the use of marijuana and Indiana passed approval for the sale of CBD oils and creams over two years ago. How does this impact employers of CDL holders and the driver themselves? What happens if a CDL holder tests positive\, even if not under the influence at the time of testing? How does impact employers with high function safety sensitive employees? \nCynthia Able has been in the drug and alcohol industry for 15 plus years. She specializes in compliance program management and policy review. Cynthia Able is also a certified MROA. She has worked with many companies to better educate them on the drug and alcohol rules and regulations also making sure they meet all compliance needs for safety sensitive employees. \nCEUS will be available for this event. \nEveryone is welcome so please join CCS on January 27th at 8:00 a.m. for this FREE webinar.

SUMMARY:CCS Roundtable – Mental Wellness: The Impact in Construction
DESCRIPTION:Construction is a stressful occupation. The work is tough and often entails intense physical labor performed in dangerous conditions. Adding to the stress is the fact that employment is often temporary and precarious. These factors are having a significant impact on the well-being of construction workers: \n\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, the suicide rate for men in construction is four times higher than the overall suicide rate.\nA new study shows that construction workers are much more likely than people in other professions to missuse opiods\, cocaine\, and marijuna.\nOne study found that one in five construction workers struggle with mental health issues.\nChronic pain and depression have high comorbidity rates with 85% of chronic pain sufferers also experiencing depression.\n\nMental wellness and the impact on the construction industry is the focus of the next CCS Roundtable on September 30th. The Roundtable will feature various speakers to address mental wellness and share solutions on how to improve mental health outreach and support. \nSPEAKERS \nOur keynote speaker will be renowned international speaker Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas who will present “Suicidology 101”. She will address why the construction industry should care about discussing this difficult subject as well as share comprehensive strategies for workplaces and success stories. \nAnn Beal and Doug Benson of IMCS Group will present on how injuries can impact the brain and how the proper therapy can help with workers’ comp case management including how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help create goal-oriented treatment as well as how to self-treat after therapy sessions are completed. Beal and Kosater will share information on an Albertson’s/Safeway study on how CBT improves workers’ compensation outcomes. \nThe CCS Roundtable will be held Thursday\, September 30 from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. virtually. Cost to attend is $49. \nPlease join us for this informative event. \n  \n**Deadline to register for the CCS Roundtable is Friday\, September 25 at 5:00 p.m. EST Cancellations after that date will not be refunded.** \nClick here to register\n\nThank You to our Roundtable Sponsor!

SUMMARY:The 15: CCS Safety Director Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Join us each month for a short 15-minute webinar discussing hot topics in the construction industry. All webinars are hosted by CCS Safety Director Gary Martin. \nThe nation’s health protection agency\, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in China and which has now been detected in more than 100 locations internationally\, including in the United States.
