Drugs and Alcohol Policy
Airtherm Engineering Limited holds health and safety as a core business value. We are committed to
a future free of incident and injury, and the effective management of drug and alcohol misuse is an
integral part of this.
It is Airtherm Engineering’s policy to:
Comply with all applicable legislation and local standards relevant to the location and nature
of the works.
Never knowingly permit any Airtherm Engineering Limited employee, its consultants or trade
contractors or anyone engaged directly or indirectly (as a ‘worker’) to report for work or enter
work premises under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or to consume these while on duty or
on the premises.
Implement control measures to prevent, as far as reasonably practical, individuals from
working or entering work premises while under the influence of drugs or excess alcohol, or
consuming these at work.
These measures could include in-house and external testing programs, with the capacity to
carry out compulsory drugs and alcohol screening within three months of commencing
employment, annual random screening for safety-critical workers, post-incident testing and
unannounced random screening at certain locations.
Take a positive approach to any employee/worker seeking help or guidance in overcoming
alcohol- and/or drug-related problems – but only where the issue is raised before selection
from random testing or notice of a planned testing date.
Never knowingly employ or retain any employee/worker, directly or indirectly, who has been
justifiably dismissed by an employer for alcohol- and/or drug-related misconduct.
Take suitable action – up to and including dismissal or termination of contract – against
anyone testing positive to alcohol or drugs in breach of this policy.
Any employee/worker found to have tested positive after a drug or alcohol test will be immediately
suspended from the work in which they are engaged, pending a full investigation.
Employees/workers testing positive for drugs or excess alcohol, attempting to defeat or refusing to
take a test, face sanctions up to and including termination of contract.
This policy will be reviewed in line with changes to any relevant legislation.
