<p>New drug laws for Victorian rail workers came into force on Sunday (June 30).</p> <p>The laws make it an offence to perform rail safety work while impaired by a drug, including prescription medication.</p> <p>Under the new provisions, an impairment assessment can be undertaken when there is a reasonable belief that a rail safety worker’s ability is effected by medication or an illegal drug.</p> <p>Transport minister Peter Batchelor said: "The new laws to control drugs in rail safety work will encourage significant cultural change within the rail industry.</p> <p>"The reforms will necessitate widespread education and shifts in the behaviour of rail workers, rail companies and health practitioners to ensure that workers are not impaired by particular drugs, including medications, while at work."</p> <br />
