Cannabis use is legal — but impairment at work is not. Alcohol remains a major safety risk. And employers are being held accountable for failing to act and for acting incorrectly.
This webinar gives you the tools to enforce safety confidently, fairly, and within the law.
What you’ll learn
- The legal status of cannabis and what it means for workplace enforcement
- When cannabis use becomes a dismissible offence
- Alcohol impairment: updated rules for testing, evidence & safety
- Fitness for duty: how to assess, document and act lawfully
- Safety‑sensitive roles: what employers can enforce
- How to update your policies to withstand CCMA scrutiny
- Case law shaping cannabis and alcohol decisions in 2025–2026
Who should attend
HR managers, business owners, operations managers, team leaders, and anyone responsible for safety, compliance, or disciplinary processes.
