Intoxicating Organisation: 
Fostering dialogue on workplace drug and alcohol policies 

A one day workshop, sponsored by the International Centre for Corporate 
Social Responsibility, to be held at Nottingham University Business 
School 8th September 2005.

Applications to attend the above workshop are now invited.

Context:
2004 saw publication of the report of the 18 month long Independent 
Inquiry into Drug testing at work. This report seriously questioned the 
efficacy and legitimacy of workforce drug testing. It found that evidence 
of deleterious effects of employee drug use for organisational 
performance or health and safety was poor, and it highlighted a range of 
significant ethical and political concerns over workplace drug testing. 
Notwithstanding the above, the report also concluded that a major expansion 
of such drug testing in UK workplaces is a genuine possibility. 

This report, and the issue of drugs and the workplace to which it 
attends, raises important questions. Questions such as: What is, and what 
should be, the relationship between drugs and the workplace, between 
intoxication and organisation? Is drug use a problem that should be 
managed? Are attempts to manage drug use themselves problematic? Does drug
use represent a threat, a response, or something entirely other to 
organisation? By bringing together a range of speakers and participants this 
workshop explores the complex and controversial relationship between 
drugs, work, intoxication and organisation philosophically, politically and 
practically.

Speakers include:

Professor Andy Crane, ICCSR, Nottingham University Business School, 
presenting on the ethics of workforce drug testing.

Professor Yvonne Guerrier, Roehampton University, presenting on alcohol 
in the workplace based on her extensive research of tour reps.

Professor Alf Rehn, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, presenting 
An Ethno-Toxicology of Organisation exploring the effect of legal drugs 
on the organisation. 

Marcus Roberts, DrugScope, author of Drug Testing in the Workplace the 
report of the independent inquiry into drug testing at work. 

Dr. David Wray and Dr Peter Francis, Northumbria University, co-authors 
of Workforce Drug Testing: A Review of the Literature. Joseph Rowntree 
Foundation. 

Dr. Edward Wray-Bliss, Nottingham University Business School, and 
Samantha Warren, University of Portsmouth, presenting on directions for 
future research on drugs, intoxication and organisation. 

The cost of attending the workshop is £50.00 (£25.00 for students), 
inclusive of refreshments and lunch. To receive a registration form email:
