Traditional drug testing is no longer sufficient to determine workplace impairment, especially with evolving cannabis laws. Employers are shifting toward real-time impairment testing using cognitive assessments and ocular scans to detect actual signs of impairment rather than relying solely on positive drug results. This approach helps reduce liability, improve safety, and comply with regulations that require evidence of impairment before disciplinary action. As technology advances, tools like AI-powered systems are entering the market, offering objective, repeatable methods to identify impairment and support safer, more accountable workplaces. The shift marks a critical evolution in safety strategy.
