In the current letigious climate, it is essential that businesses and organisations comply fully with the legal requirements regarding health and safety in the workplace. Effective policies and procedures must not only be in place, but they must also be effectively communicated to all employees and regularly monitored and reviewed.

To Test or Not To Test

Workplace drug and alcohol testing is becoming more and more commonplace across the world. However it remains a controversial issue as organisations strive to balance issues of privacy of the individual and human rights with health and safety both in the workplace and in the wider social and global environment. For some it is a 'no brainer' and the responsibility for safety is paramount. Provided employment contracts are clear and policies are effectively communicated to the workforce, employees will see the legal and moral sense in testing. 

Should you perform drug and alcohol screens on your employees? Pre-employment, periodic and random screenings are standard in some industries, but they are also ‘best practice’ for many other top employers.

Having an effective Drug and Alcohol policy not only reinforces your commitment to comply fully with health and safety legislation but also sets a positive example and effective deterrent within the workplace. The simple truth is that drugs, alcohol and work just don't mix. To uphold the health and safety of your employees and create a proactive impression for your client base, efficient testing is essential.
