- You want workers to know that the Company will try to assist them if they recognise that they are struggling with substance abuse issues and that there is a process for such matters;
- You need to communicate to workers that they may be subject to drug and/or alcohol testing, including where there is a reasonable suspicion that they are under the influence, or if they work on client sites that have random drug and/or alcohol testing; and
- You want to have clear expectations in place to help protect the Company in the event of a related disciplinary issue.
