Episode 5 - Drugs and Alcohol in the Workplace

In Episode 5 of the SRM Stay Safe Podcast - TBT specials, I, Liam Scott, tackle the critical issue of drugs and alcohol in the construction industry. With construction already being a high-risk field, the addition of substance use can lead to disastrous consequences. In this episode, I explore why drug and alcohol use is more prevalent than you might think and how it affects not only individuals but entire crews. I discuss the dangers of both illegal and prescription drugs on site, the legal and emotional repercussions of impaired work, and the importance of recognizing and reporting signs of substance use. Join me as I emphasize the need for vigilance and sobriety to ensure safety for everyone involved. Stay safe, stay sober, and don't hesitate to speak up if you notice something amiss.
