Drug Free Workplace
WE’RE PARTNERING TO PROTECT THE WORKPLACE
Marijuana Legalization's IMPACT on the Workplace
The recent legalization of marijuana and its widespread use has created much debate on how it affects workplace policies and safety measures. Companies need to review their current policies to ensure that they align with the new laws and regulations. It is important for employees to understand the potential risks and consequences of using marijuana in the workplace, as it can impair judgment and undermine safety protocols. Companies should educate their workforce on the importance of responsible behavior and ensure that employees are aware of the possible legal implications of non-compliance. Proper communication and training are essential for all parties involved to ensure that they remain compliant with the law while upholding workplace policies and standards. TMI is your partner in understanding, updating and ensuring your teams safety remains the focus. Call us to discuss how we can assist (844)3MARBLES
Drug-Free Workplace is not just our business; we are passionate about making the workplace safer by eliminating the dangers of drugs and alcohol from your business. We have worked with thousands of employers in Ohio, throughout the Midwest, in Colorado, Arizona, and Washington to ensure that your most valuable assets return home to their families in the same manner they left. Drugs are a hazard and create a danger and undue burden in the workplace.
As an Account Executive with OhioHealth, our President and founder, Dyann McDowell, received a call in 1997 from an employer struggling with a workforce saturated with heavy drinking on and off the job. That call ignited a passion in her to make the workplace safer, understand the impact, and rid the workplace of the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

We have over 17 models available, and our ability to customize is the best in the industry.
Employee education includes:
Initial program rollout – no one does it better. Our trainers will seamlessly walk your employees through every element of the Drug-Free program. We’ll answer the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your Drug-Free program. Our EXPERIENCE is critical because answering your employees’ questions and concerns is vital to program success and buy-in.
Annual refresher – we engage your team with new material and a fresh perspective designed to ensure your program stays fresh in their minds.
New Hire training – as new staff joins your team, make sure they understand the Drug-Free program requirements. Let our team do the heavy lifting and deliver this training during orientation via video, online, webinar, or live training. Laying the foundation for new hires is critical to compliance and required by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP) and Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements.

Supervisor Training – our comprehensive skill-building session is designed to empower Supervisors with the knowledge necessary to identify, document, confirm and confront a potential problem and the step-by-step requirements needed to refer an employee for Reasonable Suspicion testing.
Supervisor & Compliance Resources
Initial Training Introduction to Drug-Free (2 hours) – recommended for all new TMI clients. This class is the foundation for Reasonable Suspicion, which looks in-depth at our proprietary method and makes the link between reasonable suspicion and performance indicators.
Refresher Training (1 hour) – builds on the skills learned in the initial training to elevate your Supervisor’s skills and ability to confront drug and alcohol issues in the workplace. Modules including Signs and Symptoms, Medical Marijuana, the Opioid Epidemic, etc., ensure your Supervisors are ready to protect the workplace.
Department of Transportation (DOT) Supervisor Training (2 hours) – This course is designed for managers and supervisors to comply with the DOT mandated training requirements. The group size(s) can vary according to the convenience of scheduling personnel.
New Supervisors need training as soon as possible because they’re often unprepared but most likely to deal with the problems related to drugs and alcohol. Webinar sessions are held monthly (see our calendar to schedule). Online training is a great option to ensure they have the skills necessary to confront the dangers of drugs and alcohol use and abuse.
