In a nutshell, the purpose of this Policy is to support workplace health and safety. It is meant to address and minimise the risks in the workplace associated with Drugs and Alcohol and to ensure Fitness for Duty, as well as establishing your business' expectations for appropriate behaviour and to describe the possible consequences for non-compliance. At the end of the day, it is important for you as an employer to mitigate risk, and this Policy plays an important part in that.

Note

ASA is pleased to present these simplified plain English policies and documents. We have prepared these documents as a result of feedback from subscribers and businesses. Sometimes businesses and their employees find detailed policies (or documents) unnecessarily complex and quite frankly, boring.

However, as a result of simplifying these policies/documents, it is important to be mindful as to whether they are appropriate for your business and whether they suit the circumstances for your employees. The idea behind providing you with an option of plain English policies/documents is to best serve the outcomes you desire for your business.

You may also wish to consider contacting ASA for more information; please refer to the contact details below.
