Consumption of alcohol and drugs at work can have negative impacts for individuals and organisations in terms of health problems. Public authorities and social partners in EU countries have developed national legislation and agreements banning/limiting alcohol/drug use at work, with a focus on testing practices intended to control usage at work. Public authorities and social partners have also adopted various policy measures to prevent and combat the negative effects of alcohol and drug use at work. This report which covers the 27 EU Member States (EU27) plus Norway, aims to: -identify the main European and national statistical surveys providing information on the prevalence of alcohol/drug use at the workplace -present the latest information on the extent of alcohol/drug use at the workplace, the sectors and occupational categories most concerned by this use, and the subsequent consequences -identify legislation and agreements concerned with the prohibition/limitation of alcohol/drug use at the workplace -identify information on testing practices intended to control alcohol/drug use at the workplace -describe national prevention programmes intended to combat alcohol/drug use at the workplace |
