1 Day Workplace Protection Package
Stop guessing. Start protecting.
Service Description
Our 1 Day Workplace Protection Package: Stop guessing. Start protecting. A lot of workplace drug and alcohol policies are now outdated, punitive, and legally thin. When a concern arises, managers are often left unsure of how to act, and more and more businesses are now left exposed to tribunal risk. Our 1 Day Workplace Protection Package will help. It is a complete, plug-and-play system designed to move your business toward the Better Testing Pathway where a "failure doesn't have to mean a fire." Our approach balances safety-critical detection with a fair, support-led framework that protects both the company and the employee. Initial Steps: The Audit: Immediately upon booking, you'll receive our user-friendly workplace D+A audit tool. This helps identify any legal gaps and risk areas. The Review: Upon completion, you email the audit back to us. We review your data to prepare a bespoke strategy for your business. The Chat: We have a 60-minute tailored consultation (Zoom or phone) where we walk you through your results, refine your specific documents, and build your "Future-Protection" plan. It’s expert hand-holding every step of the way. What’s included in the pack? The one-day setup guide and your workplace audit. Along with these, you will also receive a bespoke policy, appeals form, appeals process document, a prescribed medication policy and declaration form, illegal substances list, tribunal readiness checklist, managers guide, a collection manual for workplace substance misuse, and chain of custody forms for 3 separate collection types. All tailored to your specific business during our consultation. Training: The managers' training course teaches up to 4 of your staff key skills such as spotting impairment, handling difficult conversations, and applying the policy correctly and consistently. Be tribunal ready. This package has been written to stand up to scrutiny. If a worst-case scenario occurs and a decision is challenged, you can show a clear, consistent, and documented trail. This demonstrates that your process was fair, proportionate, and aligned with modern best practices.
