Hi List
Please can you give me advice on the following: I have an employee who has recently returned to work after an alcohol related absence. I have been asked to randomly test this man by HR(agreed with union). However, nowhere in the company drug and alcohol policy does it state acceptable levels ie zero tolerance or under drink driving limit. A colleague and I are currently reviewing this policy. Any help with policy reviews would be helpful.
On reading some other D+A policys it is suggested that it is the line managers duty to complete the test and refer to HR if test is positive, who will then refer to occupational health for advice. Im not sure where i stand legallly on this, but as my next module in OH diploma is on legal and ethics in Occupational Helath this might be a good subject to choose!!!!!:0
I am aware this message is somewhat garbled but any help would be appreciated. I do not want to do the employee or company a disservice with my lack of knowledge or experience.
Lorna
