Explore the often-overlooked signs of dependency and gain practical insights into supporting individuals while fostering a safer, healthier working environment.

You’ll learn:

• how to recognise the signs of alcohol and substance misuse
• the role employers play in supporting early intervention
• the safety risks associated with hidden addiction
• how workplace substance testing can support risk management and compliance
• the benefits and limitations of different testing methods.

The session includes a personal insight from Patrick Ball, alongside practical guidance on creating safer, more supportive workplaces.

It’s a great opportunity to learn from real-life experience, gain practical knowledge and explore effective approaches to workplace safety and wellbeing.
