Whitepaper - Creating a Drug & Alcohol Policy: A Practical, Step-By-Step Guide to Building an Effective Workplace Management Tool 

A drug and alcohol policy is a detailed, high-level statement of intent that should not depend on the tools you have at any given time. Instead, they must reflect the risks, rights and obligations of each organisation and thus be developed individually.

A standardised process guides policy development, which must be altered wisely to address specific organisation needs. Organisations must grasp drug and alcohol use issues and get expert advice and support to develop their policies.

While sample policies are available, there are no templates and scant practical general information. This paper fills that gap with a research overview on a policy’s purpose; key concepts that frame it, plus subject-matter-expert views.
