Rethinking Drug Testing In 2025: Revisiting the Gold Standard

A Critical Look at Evolving Technologies, THC Detection, and Canada's Leading Guidelines. As drug use patterns, legalization, and workplace expectations evolve, so too must our approach to drug testing. In this presentation, Dr. Melissa Snider-Adler explores why it's time to challenge the long-standing “gold standard” of drug testing. She will discuss the strengths and limitations of current testing modalities, including oral fluid and urine, revisit long-debated cut-off levels, and examine how THC testing must adapt in the context of cannabis legalization. The session will also provide insight into the most recent (2025) updates to Canada’s most influential workplace drug testing guidelines and position statements. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to modernize testing programs to better reflect today’s scientific, legal, and workplace realities.

Don’t miss out on what could be the most important conversation about workplace testing this year!

From Noise to Neurotoxins: Navigating Occupational Health Surveillance

This session breaks down the essentials of occupational health surveillance - what to test, when to test, and why it matters.

From hearing conservation to respiratory risks like silica and asbestos, to blood monitoring for lead or mercury exposure, we’ll walk through what a smart, compliant surveillance program looks like in action. Gain clarity on regulatory thresholds, medical testing triggers, and how to align your health monitoring with actual risk - not just policy.

Designed for Health & Safety leaders, HR, and Occupational Health professionals, this talk cuts through the noise (literally and figuratively) with strategic takeaways you can use right away.

Join our Chief Medical Officer as he reviews everything surrounding medical surveillance in the workplace.
