Dear List,

 

I am working with a company where a recent incident has highlighted a hole in the D&A policy:

 

Does anyone have an agreement/contract/consent that outlines an employees agreement to undergo rehab,

And the ongoing processes – i.e. confirmation of attendance, follow-up screening, etc

 

How many times is it reasonable to support staff that admit to having a problem?

(Staff not coming forward and subsequently found to have a positive drug test are normally dismissed).

 

Also what to do with those staff fail to consent,

 

And the duty of care from OH to protect him and others from harm versus confidentiality.

 

Many thanks

 

Campbell
