Policy Advice

Concateno believe that the creation of a correct drug and alcohol policy is essential as it underpins the organisations stance and processes with regards drugs and alcohol. We have extensive experience working with companies and stakeholders to ensure that the policy reflects the ethos and complies with any relevant legislation.

The Health and Safety Executive sends a clear message to employers that they should take a proactive stance, recommending that “employers should adopt a substance misuse policy, in consultation with their staff.”

The HSE also suggests that policies should be supportive rather than punitive, advising that “your policy should seek to help rather than lead to simply dismissing.”

A good policy needs to satisfy two aims, on the one hand serving as a deterrent, whilst on the other providing effective support.
