Primary Control in Managing Risk

Research shows that 64% of supervisors worry about saying the wrong thing when handling sensitive issues such as drug and alcohol use. Many report a lack of clear protocols, practical tools, and confidence to intervene.¹

At the same time, emerging drugs, shifting legislation, and increasingly complex “impairment” profiles mean supervisors are navigating a far more challenging landscape than even a few years ago.

This training gap is becoming more critical, not less:

• Workplace drug positivity rates are at their highest level in over a decade²
• New and emerging drugs are increasing the complexity of “impairment”
• Supervisors across multiple industries report low confidence in managing sensitive situations³

Meanwhile, expectations on frontline leaders continue to rise. Organisations are no longer judged on whether they have policies and procedures in place – but on whether those policies and procedures are applied consistently, confidently, and in real time.

Need Support?

If you’re reviewing your drug and alcohol program, now is the time to ask:

• Are your supervisors confident to intervene?
• Do they know what to look for – and what to do next?
• Is your Drug and Alcohol policy and procedure being applied consistently in practice?

Strengthen your approach with practical training, aligned policies and procedures, and customisable drug and alcohol testing solutions. Policies and Procedures don’t manage risk – people do.
