Drug and Alcohol Awareness Training

Promote safer workplaces with drug and alcohol awareness training that’s legally backed by Lander & Rogers

What is drug and alcohol awareness training?

Why do organisations find it challenging to address drug and alcohol risks?

How do you make drug and alcohol awareness training relevant and effective?

For training to have impact, employees need to understand how risks show up in everyday work situations and feel confident taking action.

At Habits of Mind, we design training that connects awareness with practical behaviour.

Our approach includes:

  • Scenario-based learning that reflects real workplace situations

  • Interactive elements that reinforce recognition and decision-making

  • 15–20 minute modules designed to support engagement and completion

  • A focus on early reporting and shared responsibility

This helps employees not only recognise risks, but also take appropriate action to support a safer workplace.

How is your training aligned with workplace safety requirements?

Drug and alcohol awareness training helps employees understand how substance use can impact safety, decision-making, and fitness for work, while equipping them to recognise risks and respond appropriately.

For organisations across Australia, this training supports compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations and promotes a safer, more accountable workplace.

Managing drug and alcohol risks in the workplace often involves sensitive situations, making it difficult for organisations to address consistently.

Common challenges include:

  • Employees unsure how to recognise signs of impairment

  • Hesitation to speak up due to discomfort or uncertainty

  • Lack of clarity around responsibilities and reporting processes

  • Training that doesn’t reflect real workplace scenarios

Without clear guidance and confidence, risks may go unreported—impacting both safety and organisational performance.

All Habits of Mind modules are written in partnership with, and annually reviewed by Lander & Rogers, ensuring alignment with current Australian Work Health and Safety legislation.

This provides organisations with confidence that their training reflects legal expectations while remaining practical and accessible for employees.
