Alcohol

 

Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance and the majority of people with a drinking problem are present in the workplace. Addressing this issue, and the prospect of tackling when and how much employees drink, can be daunting. However, acting to prevent problems before they occur can ultimately save time and is often more effective than dealing with a problem that has escalated and become too serious to ignore.

Drugs
​

Drug misuse can be a serious problem, not only for the person in question but also the company they work for and sometimes for their

co-workers. The possession of some drugs is illegal, exposing the person to the risk of criminal charges as well as causing harmful effects to their health. You could be breaking the law if you knowingly allow drug-related activities in your workplace and you fail to act. It is just as important to know the implications, to both your employees and business, of not tackling drug misuse, particularly where safety is involved.
