Clear policy advised
June 1st 2008

With the recent changes to the Corporate Manslaughter Act now in force, there has never been a better time for organisations to address the issues of drugs and alcohol misuse at work says Grendonstar.

Simon Truelove of Grendonstar, explains "As a leading UK authority on the problems associated with drug and alcohol misuse in the workplace, Grendonstar helps organisations to meet their legislative responsibilities in an easy, effective and cost efficient manner." Grendonstar argues a carefully written, successfully implemented drugs and alcohol misuse policy demonstrates a company's commitment to health and safety at work.

It also means that routine tests can be performed to check for alcohol or drugs without falling foul of human rights issues, and allows companies to choose to install equipment such as Interlock, a breath alcohol measuring instrument complete with vehicle immobiliser.
