1 Alcohol, Drugs and Prevention in the Workplace Challenges in the field & Solutions Pompidou Group – Council of Europe Strasbourg, 14/15 May 2012 Kris De Meester Manager health and safety affairs & international industrial relations

Challenges in the field HOW TO Convince employers/workers that alcohol and drugs have negative impact on work(place) Business case for A&D policy Find support for company alcohol and drugs policy Employer+workers+experts/intermediairies Remove legal obstacles Limit availability of A&D Focus on performance/functioning 2

Challenges in the field HOW TO Stay away from ‘proof’ and ‘penalties/sanctioning’ Avoid ‘medical’ approach Ensure a (basic) HR function, equally necessary for a successful prevention policy Provide adequate tools, models, awareness raising materials Make sure top-down meets bottom-up Ensure participation of clients, contractors, visitors Change mentality (old habits die hard) 3

SOLUTION(S) Collective negotiated approach 4

CLA 100 Alcohol and drugs Resulted from the Interprofessional Agreement WHY? Legal framework not clear Companies want to know what is allowed and what not Workers complaining about behaviour of colleagues Make the problem debatable, break the taboo Negative impact on worker himself, on the colleagues and on the company 5

6 Policy Alcohol Drugs Legal responsibility employer SafetyVigilanceStress Agression, mobbing, bullying Company culture Company Image ProductivityAbsenteïsm

Alcohol and work Number of problematic drinkers: % of working population Absenteeism: 2-6 times average Increased chance of accidents: 2-4 times higher - 15 to 30% under the influence of alcohol Prevent-study (2004): Employee arrives drunk at work: in 70% of companies Staff at least one time drunk while working: 40% of companies Absenteeism due to alcohol abuse: in 76% of companies

Alcohol and work Problematic drinker productivity limited to 75% of salary Productivity loss due to absenteeism and unemployment in EU: yearly €9-19 billion / €6-€23 billion (Anderson & Baumberg, 2006) 2,2 billion euro productivity loss in Belgium 1/3 of total cost for society (Pacolet, 2003) 60% results from occasional abuse and/or inadequate alcohol consumption

CLA On a prevention policy for alcohol and drugs in the company 9

CLA 100 Alcohol and drugs Goal: Make discussable, prevent and remedy disfunction at work as a result of alcohol and drugs consumption Company policy: first stage Determine the principles and goals at company level Policy statement (everything possible from ‘common sense’ to ‘zero tolerance’) Compulsory for all companies In consultation with workers(representatives) Company policy: second stage Rules for availability (or not) of alcohol, work related alcohol consumption Procedures to follow in case disfunction of a worker is observed Procedure to follow in case a worker is not able to work Testing is possible (for prevention, not for sanction) 2nd stage not compulsory In consensus with workers(representatives) 11

CLA framework No tailor made policy for every company... … limited to providing the framework to establish a company policy 12

Pilars Information and training Behaviour rules / code of conduct Procedures in case of acute and chronic abuse (Testing) Assistance/aid programs Implementation in companies taking into account the necessary transparency 13

Principles FUNCTIONING DOUBLE AXE Health and safety HRM FOR ALL PREVENTION FOCUS WORK RELATED SPECIFICITY OF THE SUBSTANCE 14

CLA 100 Alcohol and drugs Added value Problem now out in the open (no taboo anymore) Clear framework created Not just for safety reasons but also economic and health motives Ready to use models and procedures Exchange of good practices and ideas Testing made legally possible Win-win for workers and employers 15
