Summary: A comprehensive substance abuse awareness program that includes
modules on prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and
combining drugs. The program includes an employee manual and an
instructor’s manual complete with explanatory text, discussion points,
exercises, and vu-graphs. The employee manual can be used as a standalone,
a self-instructed tool, an employee reference, or a supplement to
classroom training.
Advantages: Is very comprehensive and easy to understand. Contains exercises that
emphasize major points. Is sufficiently flexible to allow transit systems to
use the materials to suit their specific needs.
Disadvantages: Is generic, and thus does not address specific employer policies or
procedures. Contains an outdated list of medications, and does not
address the potential for adding new or other medications.
