Drugs and Alcohol Misuse/Abuse

Recent studies show that there is an increase in Drug and Alcohol Abuse in the general population.

The taking of drugs and/or alcohol can seriously affect work performance, quality and productivity.

They can be a contributor, as well as a cause of accidents in the workplace; this is particularly risky when employees are required to undertake safety critical roles in the workplace, such as driving a vehicle or working at an atomic energy plant.

It can adversely affect working relationships between members of staff and, worse still, your company’s clients!

Many companies are now recognising the need to introduce Drug and Alcohol policies which allow a testing service for substances of abuse at pre-employment and during employment in the workplace.

 SheaOH can help you company by:  

• Developing and produce a Drugs and Alcohol policy that is effective for your organisation, or undertaking a review of your current policy
• Carry out the necessary testing plus reports including:
  
• Pre-employment Drugs and Alcohol Screening
• Point-of-contact testing
• Random/unannounced testing
• Chain of Custody (legally defensible )
• For Cause testing
• Arranging counselling services if required for people who have been identified with a problem
• Provision of training for managers in your policy
• Provision of training for employee into the effects of drugs and alcohol on the body
