Abstract:
Employees that report for duty under the influence often present a real
problem to employers. The use of alcohol affects an employee’s sight,
speech, coordination and reaction speed. Employees working with
machinery or driving a vehicle, who are under the influence, hold a high
risk to the employer, themselves and their colleagues. It is the employer’s
responsibility to create a safe working environment for all employees
and must therefore always act in accordance with the disciplinary code.
