CCS January Safety Directors Forum: CBD Oil, Marijuana and the Impact on Drug Testing
2021-01-27 08:00 - 09:00 | IN, United States
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.
How 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?
With 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?
Cynthia 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.

CCS Roundtable – Mental Wellness: The Impact in Construction
2020-09-30 08:00 - 11:30 | IN, United States
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:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the suicide rate for men in construction is four times higher than the overall suicide rate.
A new study shows that construction workers are much more likely than people in other professions to missuse opiods, cocaine, and marijuna.
One study found that one in five construction workers struggle with mental health issues.
Chronic pain and depression have high comorbidity rates with 85% of chronic pain sufferers also experiencing depression.

Mental 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.
SPEAKERS
Our 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.
Ann 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.
The CCS Roundtable will be held Thursday, September 30 from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. virtually. Cost to attend is $49.
