Training
• AWC drug & alcohol supervisor awareness training: HR has looked at developing our own
class. Due to the complexity of this, outsourcing using AWC may be a better process at this
time. To conduct an AWC class is $600. We can also send our employees to, which we have
done, for $25 per person. HR will evaluate the training need and implement the
appropriate action.
