Drug and alcohol misuse affects health, safety and performance at work, and every employer has legal duties to manage the risks it creates. This course gives a balanced, non-judgemental introduction to drugs and alcohol — the main types and their effects on the body and mind, why people use them, and how misuse and dependence develop. It sets the facts straight without stigma, which is the starting point for handling the issue well.
It then focuses on the workplace: the impact of drugs and alcohol on safety and productivity, the relevant law and an employer’s responsibilities, and how to recognise the signs of a possible problem. Crucially, it promotes a supportive rather than purely punitive approach — encouraging people to seek help, supporting recovery, and applying clear, fair policy. It is an awareness-level course for managers, HR, health-and-safety staff and employees alike.
