Alcohol & Drugs in the Workplace
NCETA in collaboration with the State Government of South Australia has developed the Worklife website to help workplaces respond to alcohol and drug issues and to develop alcohol and drug policies - the central component of any response to workplace alcohol and drug issues.
WorkLife will help you:
- Understand more about alcohol and drugs
- Promote workplace safety
- Increase productivity
- Reduce absenteeism
- Comply with duty of care and legal obligations
- Improve worker morale and wellbeing.
These resources explain the who, how and why of workplace alcohol and drug use. Each section below contains downloadable Fact Sheets, How-To-Guides, Toolbox Talks, Posters and Handouts and Videos. For in-depth information go to our Online Learning Topics.
