The TTC Group can offer training to your workforce about drug and alcohol issues and how they affect the workplace (not just driving). This can range from health education for staff, through to how to recognise signs and symptoms of drink / drug problems for supervisors, and can include advice on policy formation at boardroom level.
Many medicines that are readily available at your pharmacy, although not illegal to drive on, can also put your drivers at risk by causing drowsiness.
Professional drivers have a good track record with regards to drink / drug driving. Nonetheless there are certain misconceptions regarding drugs and alcohol that may leave them vulnerable.
The minimum punishment for a drink / drug drive offence is a 12 month ban from driving all motor vehicles. Even when an ‘ordinary’ licence is granted, you then have to ask the Traffic Commissioner for the re-instatement of a vocational licence. Their response will depend on the severity of the original offence and whether it is a first offence.
TTC 2000 is the largest UK provider of alcohol awareness courses. We guarantee that course participants will increase their knowledge by attending our training courses.
These are sample contents but would be modified to suit company requirements. For example if your company had a particular focus on driving we would adapt the contents to include more emphasis on driver impairment and the legal implications of being in charge of a motor vehicle whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
This course looks at our attitudes towards alcohol and drugs and their place within our society. It particularly looks at prescribed and ‘over the counter’ medicines and the effect they can have on performance whilst at work.
It provides factual information about alcohol and promotes an understanding of how much alcohol you consume and for how long it will impair you. It also looks at:
Health
We look at health implications of alcohol and drug use – and misuse.
This is explored through practical exercises, group discussion and the use of videos.
It helps with developing strategies for safer drinking.
Driver Impairment
The section examines impairment in a wide sense, and includes fatigue. It explores the attitudes of road users and introduces personal strategies for safer driving.
Alcohol and Drug education and awareness for employees:
Full day. Maximum number of employees: 25
Discounts available for multiple bookings
For large number of employees we are able to provide sequential training or multiple courses simultaneously. We are flexible and can offer half day or day courses to suit the needs of your organisation.
We also offer presentations to managers or large numbers of staff. This is not a full 'learning experience' but it is a useful way of raising awareness, perhaps as an introduction to promoting well being during the consultation stage of a drug and alcohol policy.
We can offer 'training for trainers'.
Trainers for trainers will include a 2-day training course, regular ongoing support and updates and a set of equipment to include: a manual, a set of mock drinks, OHT's, a set of videos (can be on DVD) Tanita breathalyser and 'Drunkbuster Goggles.'
