23.01.2022 In Australia, you can legally conduct workplace drug testing in your business. However, it’s important that you have a drug and alcohol policy and procedures in place before you introduce testing. It’s also important that your employees have been educated about the terms of your policies and procedures, and they’re aware that testing will take place. It could be argued that for some industries drug and alcohol testing should be compulsory. That’s because employers are obligated to provide a safe working place for their employees and not taking steps to reduce the incidence of employees coming to work impaired by drugs or alcohol can certainly pose a significant risk to health and safety.

23.01.2022 Interesting stuff. What is SafeScript and why do we need it? As Victoria prepares for the state-wide implementation of SafeScript, a real-time prescription monitoring system, we look at the system, why it’s needed and how it will work.... The rollout will see SafeScript introduced across Victoria in April 2019 after a successful trial last year. It will allow medical professionals to record prescriptions for some high-risk medicines to minimise potential harms. Read more here https://adf.org.au/insights/what-is-safescript/

23.01.2022 Teens are using liquid marijuana in e-cigarettes There’s no shortage of vape juices for e-cigarette smokers to choose from. But some young users opt to vape a different substance: liquid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a chemical compound of marijuana. There is often a higher concentration of THC in its liquid form, sometimes called THC oil or cannabis oil, than in traditional marijuana, which intensifies the high, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Vaping mari...juana is becoming popular among teenagers, according to Evesham Police Lt. Ronald Ritter. We’re seeing more and more who use marijuana are doing it through vapes, Ritter said. Highs from vaping liquid THC can last as long as six hours, Ritter said. He’s heard of instances of teens getting seizures or going into convulsions after vaping the chemical, which is responsible for much of the marijuana’s psychological effects like hallucinations, delusions and euphoria. There are multiple online resources detailing how to use marijuana oil in e-cigarettes like JUULs, a popular brand of e-cigarettes among teenagers, as well as how-to videos. Liquid THC is also easier for teens to conceal in a vape pen and doesn’t leave behind a mess. Article Link: http://www.burlingtoncountytimes.com//officials-teens-are-

08.01.2022 Roadside Drug Testing Driving a motor vehicle safely is a complex task. You must be mentally alert, have clear vision and good physical coordination. This allows us to pay close attention to many things at once, and to react quickly when something unexpected happens. Taking drugs or other substances that affect the brain can reduce the ability to drive safely. It is illegal to drive if you are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. If you have consumed alcohol or drug...s it is difficult to assess how much your own driving skills have been affected. It is also important to know that alcohol and other drugs can remain in your system for a period of time after consumption. If you consume alcohol or drugs in the evening you may not be safe to drive in the morning even if you no longer feel impaired, and a roadside drug test could return positive.
