Cannabis news is buzzing over some Canadian airline’s position taken towards cannabis use for their employees. Air Canada, a large airline company, refuses to allow certain personal to indulge in the use of legal marijuana. Their policy is for a drug-free, alcohol-free working environment. The consuming of cannabis is strictly prohibited on the property or while on duty. Employees will not report to work under the influence of cannabis.
Air Canada goes a step further with employees working in safety-critical areas, this will include aircraft maintenance workers, and flight operation employees, they are prohibited in using cannabis on or off the job, at no time can they have cannabis in their system.
Transport Canada has announced a new policy around the use of cannabis, resulting in some Canadian airlines reviewing their drug/alcohol policy pertaining to cannabis use, and have since announced that flight crews are forbidden to consume cannabis 28 days before flying or attending for duty. This policy was announced in June 2019. West Jet is another Canadian company that has also banned employees that are in sensitive positions, from using cannabis while off duty.
Transport Canada stands by the policy they have in place for dealing with the fitness for duty concerns, relating to air travel, marine, and motor vehicle modes of transportation.
