Date: Monday 8th March

Time: 9.00am to 3.30pm

Cost: Members $ 200 + GST Non-members $250 + GST

Venue: NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA)

27-33 Ohinerau St, Remuera, Auckland

Trainer: Bruce Howat (Elite Dog Services) is a former police officer with an extensive knowledge of the Drug and Alcohol environment.

Drug use in workplaces has escalated putting employees and employers at serous risk. Workplace safety legislation has increased compliance costs for organisations. Companies are now wrestling with their responsibilities and where responsibility lies. With them or the employee? Protect yourself and your employees, be prepared. Under the Health and Safety Employment Act 1992 section 6, the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 and Crimes Act 1961 company directors and mangers are responsible for any injuries sustained in the workplace. The Crimes Act states that ignorance of the law is no excuse so it is indefensible for a manager/ director to claim they had no idea there are drugs in their work environment.
