END TO END WORKPLACE SAFETY SOLUTIONS
Australian enterprises are naturally dependent upon the people who work there, and for those people to
perform their daily tasks to the best of their ability; and it is well established that impairment through
Alcohol or other Drugs (AOD) can cause reduced employee effectiveness, increase absenteeism and lead
to an increase in workplace safety incidents. As a consequence employers across Australia have started to
deploy AOD testing programs to act as both a deterrent as well as to catch persistent offenders. Deployment
of an effective AOD Program is relatively easy to do however there is always the question of how effective
is any program? A Holistic approach considers the “whole organisation” and the entire solution required in
minimizing the workplace risk from alcohol and drugs to realise a truly effective AOD testing program.

(AOD) policy. There are many things to consider and questions to be addressed.

ICE PROMPTS UNIONS TO
SUPPORT DRUG TESTING
The CFMEU and Victorian Labor Government
have reversed their opposition to mandatory
drug testing on construction sites after growing
problems with the drug ice. The CFMEU has
announced it supports mandatory drug testing,
despite opposing the previous government’s
mandatory testing code just last year. Labor
scrapped the code – but has welcomed the
agreement between the CFMEU and employers.
The CFMEU’s policy supports mandatory saliva
testing for drugs for all people on a construction
site – including employers, construction workers,
crane drivers and tradesmen…

NORTHERN TERRITORY FISHING LOBBY
CALLS FOR BOAT DRINK-DRIVING LAWS,
SKIPPER ALCOHOL BREATH TESTS
The Northern Territory fishing lobby has for the
first time publicly thrown its support behind
boat drink-driving laws, ending a long period of
silence on a politically sensitive issue. The NT
and Western Australia are the only jurisdictions
in Australia that do not allow police to breath
test skippers in boats. Libertarian controls around
recreational boating have been a totem issue
of NT politics, with boaters arguing police may
already charge drunken skippers under reckless
boating laws…
