Drugs and Alcohol
The use and abuse of drugs and alcohol is an ongoing problem for most employers. 80% of companies do not have a drug or alcohol policy. Does your company?.
The consequences of not having a policy could become serious, particularly under the Corporate Manslaughter Act where an employee may die of a drug overdose on your premises.

Drugs and alcohol in the workplace is a highly emotive subject. Some companies have a robust policy whereas other take a ‘head in the sand’ view and deal with whatever those consequences may be as, when and if it occurs. Do not be one of those companies. You can sign up to our Substance Misuse Awareness And Recognition Training (SMAART ©) Programme, which provides management and employees alike with a comprehensive series of informational workshops on drugs and alcohol.
