Addictions in the Workplace

• How can you reconcile safety obligations with the duty to accommodate? When is a safety concern undue hardship?
• What are the employee's obligations? When must employees participate in addiction monitoring programs and rehabilitation testing?
• What do the experts say about dealing with denial and addiction?
• When enough is enough? When is a last chance really a last chance?
