Drug & Alcohol Seminars 2012 Cork, Galway Portlaoise
The information sheet on intoxicants at work published by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) in September 2011 outlines actions that employers should take to manage the health and safety risks posed by intoxicants (defined as drugs and alcohol). The information sheet contains information on how employers should manage the situation where an employee reports for, or is on duty under the influence of an intoxicant. Regulations on intoxicant testing will not be introduced by the Minister.
There are also implications for safety critical employees and those who drive to work, including professional drivers, of the Road Traffic Act 2011 and the lower alcohol limits which came into effect on 28th October 2011.
The EAP Institute has developed a one day seminar which will outline a best practice approach for employers to manage the performance, safety and health risks associated with intoxicants, in employees that may endanger themselves or others. The seminars will take place in the following locations:
