Protocol Packages to support your alcohol and drug policy

Looking for practical and easy tools to handle alcohol and other drug situations? Tools that can support your alcohol and drug policy?

We know it can be difficult to enforce your alcohol and drug policy consistently and objectively – especially if you’ve got more “policy” than “procedures,” don’t have to use it often or have lots of people involved in the decision-making process.

Developed by Working Partners® partner Safex,  Protocol Packages* provide your HR and management teams with an instructional video, written procedures and resources (e.g., flowcharts and forms) to help you address common drug-free workplace situations —  like having suspicion that an employee is under the influence, not knowing when or how to intervene in an employee’s use of prescription drugs.

Available Packages (with more on the way!)

“These protocol packages have been very useful. We use the one on reasonable suspicion to train our supervisors and share the knowledge gained from the medication protocol package with all our employees so they are aware of our expectations. They are definitely worth buying.”

“We use the video included in the reasonable suspicion protocol package to train our supervisors. The information is so concise and easy to understand. The handouts included in the protocol package are also a great quick reference guide to reinforce what they need to do if they believe someone is under the influence of a drug or there is a potential safety risk. I’ve heard from many of our supervisors that they feel better prepared to handle this type of situation. Thanks for creating this tool!”
