 Alcohol and drug misuse is a major factor
behind absenteeism, with some reports
suggesting that over 14 million sick days occur
in the UK alone from alcohol and drug-related
issues.Indeed, 60% of employers experience
problems in the workplace related to drinking.

incidents and interference with the accuracy
and the efficiency of work. The employer has a
general duty under The Health and Safety at

Staff who have an alcohol or drug related
problem are encouraged to seek help in
confidence, and at an early stage. And staff
who have an alcohol or drug related problem
affecting their work are dealt with
sympathetically, fairly, and consistently.
