Employer's responsibility

The employer's responsibility is to prevent accidents and ill health and to adapt the work environment if necessary. The employer must investigate whether employees need work adaptation to avoid sick leave, or to help with reduced work ability. The employer must ensure that there are routines regarding how the information about the need for work adaptation is to be handled, and in the case of more than 10 employees, these must be in writing. ​

​ Creating a policy for a sober work environment is the foundation of drug prevention.

Alcohol and drug policy

The preventive work around abuse in the workplace lies in a well-formulated and anchored policy. A policy with an action plan and clear procedures will also be a valuable support in the event of suspected or established abuse in the workplace. ​ An unclear drug policy that is not adapted to the business can hinder otherwise effective measures. Therefore, it is important to review your policy and anchor it in the organization and periodically develop it in line with changes in the business.

With Visida's help

  • Design a policy together with company management and efforts to ensure that the policy becomes part of the systematic work environment work.
  • If there is already a policy, Visida helps with analysis of the existing policy for dealing with alcohol, pharmaceutical and drug problems in the workplace and proposals for changes to the policy and action plan.

Advantages of a clear and known policy

  • Everyone knows the obligations and rights when you suspect alcohol or drug abuse.​
  • Employees with problems can be offered an adequate rehabilitation effort more quickly, which leads to reduced costs and an improved work environment.
  • Time and energy can be devoted to the core business instead, as an action plan with measures already exists.
