What is a drug and alcohol policy?

A drug and alcohol policy outlines the rules, expectations and safety measures relating to alcohol and drug use (including illegal drugs and prescription or over-the-counter medications) in the workplace.

A written policy helps employers and employees understand what is acceptable during work hours, how issues will be managed, consequences if the policy is breached, and when testing may be appropriate.
