Eliminating drug harm through education and training.

At Methcon we are passionate about eliminating drug harm in New Zealand’s workplaces and communities. We believe that the best way to do this is by reducing the demand for Methamphetamine and other drugs through education. Our aim is to educate as many people as possible about the effects of alcohol and drugs on the human brain and body. To achieve this we run community drug education presentations and workplace training throughout the country.

Take a look at upcoming events below. To request an event in your area, please contact us and we will do our best to get there.

Under law both employers and employees have a duty to ensure that the workplace is safe. A risk includes dangerous behaviour resulting from drug or alcohol use. Employees have a duty to take reasonable care for their own and others’ safety. Employees must comply with any reasonable policy or procedure relating to health and safety, including a policy on alcohol and drugs. Employers, managers and employees should be made aware of the signs that people give when alcohol and drugs use impairs their behaviour or performance and of the risks and responsibilities involved.Providing information and training should make everyone in the workplace more aware of the signs to look for, and of how to raise this with their manager or employer. It should be emphasised that the aim of providing information and training is about developing the right environment based on prevention. Using external people to lead information and training programmes can be a good approach. Managers and employees should participate in the programmes on an equal basis.
