SUMMARY:Drug and Alcohol Facts Week

As governments we are responsible for providing the infrastructure — laws and services — necessary to ensure that workers remain employable and that enterprises flourish; this includes the development of a national policy and programme and a system of inspection to enforce compliance with occupational safety and health legislation and policy. As employers, we are responsible for ensuring that the working environment is safe and healthy. As workers we are responsible to work safely and protecting ourselves and not to endanger others, knowing our rights, and participate in the implementation of preventive measures.\nWhen workers aren’t alert to their surroundings because they are burned out, they are at an increased risk of having a work-related illness or injury. To stay fresh on the job, take regular breaks. Consider scheduling your most difficult jobs when you first arrive on the job. You will stay more alert.\n\n____________________________________________________\nResources\n\nParticipate with GUIDE:\nUnderage Drinking\n\nSave Brains\nWhat is Alcohol?\nWhat You Need to Know About Addiction and the Brain\nRethinking Drinking\nMyths and Realities of Underage Drinking\nUnderage Drinking\nTeens and Alcohol\n\nOpioids\n\nThe Opioid Epidemic: What You Need to Know\nRaising Awareness: Opioid Overdose Facts\nTaking Prescription Opioids: Myths and Facts\nOverdoses, Naloxone and the Georgia 911 Medical Amnesty Law\n\nSmoking\n\nE-cigarettes and Vaping\nTobacco-Free Babies\nMarijuana… It’s more harmful than you think!\nTeen Marijuana Use\nEnding Tobacco Use\n\nMental Health\n\nMental Health Facts\n\nReference Sites\n\nUN and other international NGO\nNon-Profits website for the observance\nDrugabuse.gov | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)\n\n
