Seminar on Risks of Employee Drug and Alcohol Use

An information sheet published by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) in September 2011 outlines actions that employers should take to manage the risks posed by intoxicants (defined as drugs and alcohol) in the workplace.  This document contains information on how employers should manage the situation where an employee reports for, or is on duty, under the influence of an intoxicant.  Since the introduction of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, the EAP Institute has been researching and developing a best practice training manual on workplace intoxicants which incorporates the requirements outlined in the information sheet published by the HSA.  EAP is running two seminars which will outline workplace intoxicant policy development, safety critical risk assessments, managing reasonable suspicion, reasonable accommodation and intoxicant testing.  These will be held on Thursday 6th February 2014 (Dublin) and Thursday 20th February 2014 (Limerick).  Details and booking arrangements can be found at: www.eapinstitute.com/drugalcohol.asp
