Drug and alcohol policy development is a critical element in dealing with drug and alcohol use in the workplace. Often organisations have a strong commitment to deal with the problem and hastily choose testing as a solution. This is often misguided and can create many problems and not necessarily achieve the desired outcome.

DASA therefore gives practical advice on how to develop a drug and alcohol policy. The policy should be well thought out, detailed enough to handle most situations that may arise, and fair for all concerned.

DASA has regular free workshops to get you started. These give you background information on drugs and alcohol use, practical advice on policy development and sample policies to give you some ideas.

There are many links to useful information on the DASA resources page.
