Our team of policy experts will work with you to develop a customised alcohol and drug policy that adheres to legal requirements and aligns with your organisation’s unique culture and goals.

Getting your policy right is a crucial first step, and it can take time to ensure all stakeholders are engaged and all scenarios covered.

We consider industry benchmarks, the existing business culture, logistics, geography, legislation and other factors to ensure you are well-placed to operate a successful and effective long-term health and safety program. 

Plus, we customise the adopted sample type and testing protocol to meet the specific needs of your workplace, whether it involves urine or oral fluid samples or a combination of collection strategies.

You may have an existing drug and alcohol policy and procedure, but it’s been a few years since you assessed it. By employing Safework Health to review your workplace drug and alcohol policy and procedure, you can be confident your policy complies with:

• the relevant Australia/New Zealand Standards, 
• Commonwealth and State Legislation and Regulations, and 
• incorporates the most recent changes in Case Law.

Because of our experience reviewing policies across various industry sectors, we know the practice of peer-level organisations and make recommendations about adopting the world’s best practice procedures.

For example, the review includes the recommended frequency of random drug and alcohol testing, approved indicators of for-cause testing, and guidelines for blanket, and post-incident testing.
