Construction workers and those working in jobs with many physical demands may experience injury or pain at a higher rate. Without proper guidance, those who use opioids or other substances to manage this pain may be at an increased risk for experiencing harms. Listen to our podcast conversation with the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction to learn more about the use of opioids, cannabis and alcohol on the jobsite; the challenges faced by workers and employers; and how workplaces can support their employees’ health and safety.

Sans un encadrement adéquat, les travailleurs qui prennent des opioïdes et d’autres substances pour traiter ces douleurs présentent un risque accru d’effets néfastes. Écoutez notre conversation en balado avec le Centre canadien sur les dépendances et l’usage de substances pour en savoir davantage sur la consommation d’opioïdes, de cannabis et d’alcool sur le lieu de travail; sur les défis auxquels sont confrontés les travailleurs et les employeurs; et sur les manières dont les milieux de travail peuvent favoriser la santé et la sécurité des employés.
