ESR experts can work with you to develop and implement comprehensive drug and alcohol free workplace programmes.
Employees who come to work with alcohol and performance impairing drugs in their system have a high risk of causing an accident or injury to themselves, their co-workers or the general public. Their overall job performance is also adversely affected.
The Health and Safety in Employment Act directs employers to take "all practicable steps" to ensure that the working environment is safe by identifying and minimising the effects of hazards. The Amendment to the Health and Safety in Employment Act 2003 lists drugs and alcohol as a potential hazard.
A drug and alcohol free workplace is an important component of a safe workplace. An increasing number of New Zealand companies with high proportions of "safety critical" jobs are introducing programmes with the assistance of ESR. Programmes include pre-employment, internal transfer, post accident, reasonable cause, random and post-treatment testing.
We find solutions that suit YOUR needs through:
- policy advice meeting New Zealand legal requirements
- educational programmes
- drug screening and confirmation meeting International Standards
- alcohol testing
