Marijuana Legalization's IMPACT on the Workplace

The recent legalization of marijuana and its widespread use have created much debate on how it affects workplace policies and safety measures. Companies need to review their current policies to ensure that they align with the new laws and regulations. Employees need to understand the potential risks and consequences of using marijuana in the workplace, as it can impair judgment and undermine safety protocols. Companies should educate their workforce on the importance of responsible behavior and ensure that employees are aware of the possible legal implications of non-compliance. Proper communication and training are essential for all parties involved to ensure that they remain compliant with the law while upholding workplace policies and standards. TMI is your partner in understanding, updating, and ensuring your team's safety remains the focus. Call us to discuss how we can assist (844)3MARBLES


Proactively preserving the safety and productivity of your workplace. In many ways, there’s never been a more complex time to be a Human Resources leader. From benefits to policy, from recruiting to retention, from training to enforcement, it often seems the workload takes you further away from the very people you are there to steward. So far, you may not have visibility to some of the most common and potentially concerning situations that can cause real harm to your workforce and significant risk to your organization: those that involve impairment.

Understanding Workplace Impairment

It’s probable that Supervisors and Managers encounter impairment in the workplace daily. It might be the sleep-deprived employee exhausted from caring for elderly parents or the delivery driver who recently switched to a new prescription. It could be the manager who hopes no one notices his long lunches, often including alcohol, or the line worker battling depression. These situations, if not addressed, can pose significant risks to your workforce and your organization. The fact is, these people are part of your workforce. And for years, we’ve lacked the ability (if not the interest) to address the “elephant in the room” due to regulatory guardrails.

We believe it’s time to empower your team to take a proactive approach in acknowledging and addressing issues of impairment at work. Our innovative and impactful training and certification program, the Workplace Impairment Officer (WIO) certification, is designed to do just that. This program equips supervisors and managers with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to detect, prevent, and manage workplace impairment effectively. The WIO training certification combines both online and in-person training in a hybrid program to offer flexibility while retaining critical in-person skill building.

Don’t wait until an unfortunate oversight becomes a tragic liability. Let us help you confidently prepare to identify and address workplace impairment. Training is schedule quarterly, so schedule your team today.

"Drug-Free Workplace is not just our business; we are passionate about making the workplace safer by eliminating the dangers of drugs and alcohol from your business."

We have worked with thousands of employers in Ohio, throughout the Midwest, in Colorado, Arizona, and Washington to ensure that your most valuable assets return home to their families in the same manner they left. Drugs are a hazard and create a danger and undue burden in the workplace.


As an Account Executive with OhioHealth, our President and founder, Dyann McDowell, received a call in 1997 from an employer struggling with a workforce saturated with heavy drinking on and off the job. That call ignited a passion in her to make the workplace safer, understand the impact, and rid the workplace of the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
