With this week being National Road Safety Week it is a good time to review this topic.
You may be asking what drink and drugs has to do with the Corporate Manslaughter Legislation, and you may be surprised to find out that the lack of a policy on drink and drugs could land you in serious trouble or even lead to a trip to crown court facing a charge under various pieces of legislation.
If you have even the slightest suspicion that a member of your team is abusing substances or even have turned up to work under the influence then you have both a legal and a moral obligation to act.
On the same topic, as we are in the run up to Christmas, if you are planning to have a staff party at which your business is paying for some of the drinks or food. You need to ensure that you have adequate measures to ensure your staff do not drive home from the event nor do they drive to work the following morning.
If you are unsure of your obligations then please call our team for some free advice, before you get it wrong.
