"Reasonable Suspicion" Seminar
April 11, 2024

The Safety Committee and the ECA Research and Education Committee were proud to have sponsored the "Reasonable Suspicion" seminar.  The complimentary program was held on Thursday, April 11, 2024 at Maggiano's Banquets in Oak Brook, IL.  The session was facilitated by Bill Heffernan, co-founder of Employee Resource Systems, Inc. (ERS) and ScreenSafe, Inc.

Substance abuse in the workplace is a problem with negative consequences for employees and employers. Most people avoid having drug or alcohol use affect their work time and performance, but some employees struggle to keep their substance use from affecting their employment. 

The Reasonable Suspicion training covered topics, including:

• The signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol misuse and abuse, 
• The importance of objective and factual documentation, 
• Strategies and approaches to successful interventions and
• Essential procedures and protocols regarding reasonable suspicion testing. 

We thank Bill for his time and expertise with this program!
