“Unsurprisingly, cannabis legalization has complicated how safety professionals across the country balance the need for safety with the goal of fairness. However, I am hopeful these difficult discussions will lead to improved outcomes as companies realize that by using new breath technology, they can maintain safety, ensure objectivity, and continue fair workplace practices of testing both safety‐sensitive and non‐safety‐ sensitive employees.”

“Only THC breath testing technology is capable of distinguishing between use that has occurred in the past few hours versus the past few days.”

“While it is impossible to be 100% safe from cyberattacks, organizations can reduce their vulnerability by thoroughly training employees, strengthening current policies, and developing new policies.”

“Hound Labs, a company based in Oakland, California, said it has developed a breath test that can measure whether a person has used cannabis in recent hours — a key piece of the puzzle in determining whether a motorist was impaired or simply had remnants of the drug in their system.”

“For the past couple of months, Forbes has interviewed dozens of industry analysts, investors, entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners, poring over sales data and financial documents to come up with a list of entrepreneurs and changemakers who have an outsized influence. Here are the pioneers to watch in the green gold rush.”

“The ‘Hound’ breath test utilizes single-use cartridges and could provide a result in 20 minutes.”

“Shifting laws and rising numbers of employees who use cannabis are impacting how employers will implement workplace drug testing. The zero-tolerance era is over; fair and equitable testing practices are the new norm.”

“Focusing on or revisiting these six cybersecurity basics will help reduce your risks and strengthen your defense.”

“The Navy needs to partner with companies like Hound Labs to ensure its commands have the right tools to make on-scene assessments of individuals’ condition.”

“Hound Labs says it develops tools and technologies to offer ‘solutions for some of the leading public health and safety issues’ surrounding cannabis, including breathalyzers.”

“Cannabis only causes impairment for a few hours after smoking. But traces of THC can stay in the body in varying amounts for many days or even weeks after a person last used cannabis. Although THC does not cause impairment for days or weeks after use, past use can still trigger a positive drug test. In the era of cannabis legalization, it is important to understand ‘when’ someone used cannabis, not just ‘if.'”

“In many states, employees have the legal right to use recreational cannabis,” Lynn says. “Someone could smoke at a barbecue on a Saturday, and risk testing positive [for THC in their blood] on Monday morning.” And their urine and hair would test positive for weeks.”
