What are Drugs and Alcohol Policies?
Drugs and alcohol policies outline how an organisation addresses the use or misuse of substances that could affect an employee’s ability to work safely and professionally.
These HR policies help protect health and safety, reduce risk, and support a responsible and lawful approach to substance misuse in the workplace.
What Do Drugs and Alcohol Policies Cover?
A drugs and alcohol policy typically includes:
-
Expectations for employee conduct regarding alcohol and drug use
-
Rules on the use of substances during working hours or on work premises
-
Procedures for testing (if applicable) and confidentiality safeguards
-
Support mechanisms such as access to counselling or occupational health
-
How to report concerns or incidents
-
Disciplinary action for policy breaches
-
Links to health and safety, wellbeing and safeguarding policies
A clear policy ensures staff understand the organisation’s position and the potential consequences of substance misuse, helping to prevent accidents, misconduct or reputational damage.
It also enables businesses to support employees facing substance-related challenges, balancing safety and legal obligations with a duty of care.
Having a consistent and well-communicated approach promotes a safe, respectful working environment and gives managers the confidence to deal with sensitive issues appropriately and lawfully.
