Course Details
This 100% online, self-paced course is presented by HMC Group Solutions. Across 7 lessons it covers:
- Fitness for work: what alcohol and other drugs covers at work, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, and what impairment takes away

- Other drugs: the main drug groups, their effects on work, and why combinations are unpredictable
- Medications at work: the usual impairing medications, and ask, check, tell
- The law: worker and business duties under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), the mining overlay, and NSW road law at awareness level
- Your workplace’s policy: what an alcohol and other drugs policy is for, drug screening and alcohol testing at a principles level, self-reporting, and acting on a workmate’s state
- Getting help: recognising when use is becoming a problem, and the confidential places to get help
Written for all workers in NSW workplaces, with civil construction, mining, drilling and renewables scenarios throughout.
