About

Construction Site Substance Abuse: Drug Awareness - Course - Basics for Safety Introduction to Drugs in the Construction Industry The construction industry is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sectors, requiring constant focus, quick decision-making, and effective teamwork. Unfortunately, the misuse of substances like stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, and marijuana poses significant risks to safety and productivity. This comprehensive module explores the dangers of these drugs, whether consumed on or off-site, and their impact on workers, colleagues, and overall site safety. Stimulants: Covering cocaine, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine, this module examines how these drugs, often used to combat fatigue, impair judgement, increase recklessness, and create dangerous working conditions. Depressants: Focusing on heroin, this session highlights how workers seeking pain relief may unknowingly turn to dangerous alternatives, leading to addiction and life-threatening impairment on-site. Hallucinogens: Exploring LSD, this module discusses how hallucinations and distorted perceptions can have catastrophic consequences in environments reliant on precision and awareness. Marijuana: This session explains how marijuana use, even off-site, impairs coordination, reaction times, and decision-making, creating lasting risks in high-hazard environments. By studying these modules, either individually or as a complete package, students will gain a clear understanding of how substance misuse threatens safety in the construction industry and learn strategies to address and mitigate these risks effectively.
