Policy writing is the cornerstone that will underpin any attempt to address workplace drug and alcohol issues. An effective policy can have numerous benefits not least of which is to assist organisations in fulfilling their legal duty of care under current legislation such as the Health & Safety at Work Act and more recently the Corporate Manslaughter Act.
Policies are also essential in providing a clear statement of intent of a business’s rules and procedures on drugs and alcohol and provides a clear definition of both employee and employer responsibilities.
There is no such thing as a generic Drug & Alcohol policy with one policy that is able to comply with the needs of all organisations and so our policies are always developed in consultation with the client. We can review existing Drug & Alcohol policies to see whether they are fit for purpose or we can develop a legally defensible, bespoke policy that is compliant with all aspects of relevant legislation and developed to meet the needs of your organisation.
