Addictions health issues

Safety and health professionals are prone to the same addictions as others within our society. One major abuse issue is the use of prescription medication as well as the use of illegal controlled substances within our society, and arguably within a percentage of our safety and health professional population. The safety and health profession, unlike the legal and medical professions, possesses no ability or mechanism through which to provide rehabilitation assistance to safety and health professionals.
