Understanding the Risks

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to a range of issues, from decreased productivity and poor decision-making to increased safety risks and health problems. It’s important for both employers and employees to understand these risks and approach alcohol consumption responsibly.

Promoting Responsible Drinking

Encouraging responsible drinking habits is essential. This can include setting limits, offering non-alcoholic alternatives at company events, and educating employees about the effects of alcohol.

Recognising and Supporting Employees

It’s also important to recognise when an employee may be struggling with alcohol-related issues and to offer support. Creating an environment where employees feel comfortable seeking help is crucial for their well-being and the overall health of your organisation.

Drug and Alcohol Screening

To assist in maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, Employ Health offers a comprehensive Drug and Alcohol Screening. This service helps businesses ensure that their teams are fit for work and not impaired by substances.

Implementing a screening program can serve as a deterrent to excessive drinking and substance use. It also demonstrates a commitment to safety and well-being, which can have a positive impact on company culture.

As we enjoy the festive season, let’s be mindful of our alcohol consumption and its effects. For businesses looking to proactively manage these challenges, Employ Health’s Drug and Alcohol Screening service offers an effective solution. This service can help create a safer, healthier workplace for everyone.
