SUMMARY:The Sobering Realities of Workplace Impairment: Identifying causes\, addressing risks\, providing accommodation
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\n\n \nAnne Wallace\nArbitrator/Mediator \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nMichael Fisher\nUnion CounselRaven Law \n\n\n \nApril Kosten\nEmployer CounselDentons \n\n\n \nShawna Meister\nAssociate Director\, Innovation and Evidence in Practice \nCanadian Centre on Substance use and Addiction \n\n\nImpairment in the workplace can create serious health and safety risks for employees. This webinar will provide employers\, unions\, and employees with the tools and resources necessary to ensure that the workplace is safe from the consequences of impairment. Panelists will examine the causes of impairment\, best practices around identifying impairment in employees\, the roles of employers and unions in mitigating the risks of impairment\, and appropriate accommodations. The following questions will be discussed: \n\nWhat are common causes of impairment? Should impairment related to substance use be treated differently from impairment caused by other factors\, such as sleep deprivation or personal circumstances?\nWhat obligations do union representatives have if they have knowledge that a member may have substance use issues that can cause impairment? What if the potential for impairment is caused by issues unrelated to substance use\, e.g.\, sleep deprivation?\nWhen are employees required to disclose factors stemming from their personal lives which may cause impairment on the job? To what information are employers entitled? Does the union have a role in this disclosure process?\nWhat are best practices for employers and union representatives in approaching an employee who exhibits signs of impairment? What are effective strategies to combat stigma and encourage affected employees to seek help?\nIn general\, what is the scope of the duty to accommodate an employee with a disorder which could potentially cause impairment? To what extent will an employer be required to accommodate an employee who fails to disclose or denies having an impairment issue? What is the role of the union in the accommodation process?\nWhat are some examples of measures that can be put in place to accommodate employees in these circumstances? Are there objective measures that can be considered when assessing whether individual employees are able to safely perform their respective jobs?\nCan an employer require an employee to engage in treatment for a disorder as part of the accommodation process? Can an employer enforce monitoring mechanisms? What are some examples of treatment or monitoring mechanisms that have been found to be excessively intrusive or in violation of privacy rights?\n\nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours under Category A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of Saskatchewan for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1.5 Substantive Hours; 0 Professionalism Hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may consider this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.
