[EDMONTON, AB – July 19, 2023] The Colorado School of Public Health has published cutting-edge research on the risks associated with driving under the influence of cannabis. The study utilized Impirica’s trusted impairment risk assessment, Vitals Mobile (Vitals), to assess the effects of cannabis on driving abilities.
Commercial drivers, in particular, are required to maintain a high level of fitness to operate their vehicles safely. This is where occupational health tests come in. By identifying drivers who may be under the influence, employers can prevent accidents and protect the safety of their employees and the public.
Did you know that the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administration's (CCMTA) guidance document for Determining Driver Fitness In Canada uses the word 'Cognitive' 269 times in a 293-page document?[1]
Most companies managing a commercial fleet have little to no knowledge of what cognitive impairment means as it relates to driving.
Jeremy Thiel, Senior Manager – Marketing, Ideas & Education sits down with Chris Harris, The Safety Dog from Dawg On-It Trucking PawedCast to discuss drug and alcohol clearinghouse and advancements in cognitive testing.
