Substance Misuse Policies

Workplace substance misuse policies (drug and alcohol policy) are recognised as having major impacts in dealing with the problems associated with inappropriate use of drugs and alcohol in the workplace.

They reduce accidents, long-term sickness and compensation claims, whilst providing complete guidelines for company employees.

A company substance misuse policy (drug and alcohol policy) must meet the demands of the individual organisation as well as addressing health, safety and legal issues.

Our team of experts provide assistance in the construction of a suitable policy that ensures all statutory obligations are complied with and follows current industry best practice.

Consultation with most of the major trade unions has resulted in the acceptance of welfare-based policies across many UK industries.

Our policies and procedures do not infringe the Human Rights Act 1998.
