What The Experts Say
“Alcohol and other drugs cost Australian workplaces an estimated $6 billion per year in lost productivity. Workplace relationships, safety and productivity, as well as business reputation can be affected”
Alcohol & Drug Foundation
“As a PCBU (person conducting a business or undertaking), you must manage health and safety risks. This is your legislative responsibility under the WHS Act.This might include setting specific policies for the use of drugs and alcohol. You must, so far as is reasonably practicable ensure the health and safety of workers and others at your workplace. Workers must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”
Safe Work Australia
“Alcohol and illicit drug use can place a heavy burden on individuals, families and society. The health, social and economic effects are diverse and substantial, and include disease and injury, mental health conditions, road accidents, family and domestic violence, and other crime”
Australian Institute of Health & Welfare
“Drugs affect every person differently. The drug you use (strength, dose, how and how often you use it and other drugs) can affect how long it stays in your system. It can also be affected by you as an individual depending on your tolerance, age and gender, overall health, metabolism, mood and environment you are in and if you have taken other drugs (including legal drugs such as prescription drugs or alcohol)”
Drug Aware – WA Government
“There are some common signs of substance misuse but be aware that each individual may experience and respond in different ways, such as: finding it difficult to meet responsibilities; taking part in more dangerous or risky behaviours; behaviour changes such stealing and violent behaviour toward others; and, increasing conflict with partner/family/friends, and workmates.”
