Description
The Drug & Alcohol Policy sets your expectations in relation to the standards of behaviour expected in relation to the use of drugs and alcohol.
The use of drugs and alcohol may impact on an individual’s capacity to perform work safely, efficiently and with respect, thereby posing a risk to the health and safety of the individual and others at the workplace.
To effectively address drug and alcohol use in the workplace, it’s important to establish a thorough policy regarding these substances. It’s crucial to educate employees about the expected standards, their responsibilities, and the potential consequences if they violate the policy. By ensuring that employees are well-informed about the company’s stance on drugs and alcohol, employers can strengthen their ability to justify terminating an employee for such misconduct. Equally important is to inform employees about the availability of assistance should they require it.
