Drug Testing and Counselling Initiative
The risk and impact of drugs to an individual can be a serious concern to their own health, as well as others.
It is important to take the topic seriously and provide a thorough approach including both regulation and support, when considering the wellbeing and safety of the workforce.
Below is an example of how one site introduced drug testing and counselling:
- Mandatory drug testing on site was included as part of the company policy;
- Self-administered voluntary kits were made available;
- An amnesty initiative was created on site to bring counselling and help to people addicted to illegal or legal substances;
- The site lobbied their efforts to the board for approval and additional funding, if successful this will be rolled out across the group.
