This refers to how substances are trafficked and distributed, as well as how individuals are transported to and from treatment centers. By implementing comprehensive mechanisms and understanding the effects of abused drugs, the transport system can reduce the risk of accidents and promote a safer environment for drivers and passengers.
Drug abuse in the transport sector poses serious risks to public safety. Impaired drivers and operators endanger themselves and others. COFADARE works to implement testing mechanisms, education programs, and support services across all transport modalities to ensure safer journeys for everyone.
Our comprehensive approach covers all major transport modalities
By implementing these mechanisms and understanding the effects of abused drugs, the road transport system can reduce the risk of accidents and promote a safer environment for drivers and passengers.
To combat drug abuse in railway and air transport, comprehensive measures must be implemented to ensure passenger and staff safety.
Understanding the physical and behavioral impacts of drug abuse on transport operators
Drugs can affect the CNS, leading to impaired cognitive function, judgment, and physical abilities crucial for safe operation of vehicles.
Certain drugs such as cocaine and inhalants can cause significant damage to the respiratory system, affecting stamina and alertness.
Substance abuse can lead to altered behavior, including aggression, agitation, and impaired decision-making, all critical safety concerns.
By implementing these mechanisms, the risk of accidents would be reduced and neutralized, promoting a safer environment for passengers and staff across all transport systems.
