Reducing Apprentice Drug Use in the Skilled Trades: Best Practices for Safe Canadian Workplaces
The goal of this project is to understand the extent and nature of substance use among apprentices and tradespeople, and the best practices available to help support their wellbeing and create safer workplaces. Key findings from an anonymous Canada-wide survey with apprentices and tradespeople, as well as 50 interviews with employers, unions and tradespeople across the country will be used to inform a national communications campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the risks of substance use, and sharing resources to prevent drug use and reduce harm.
