Is your workforce at risk?
Here’s a quick checklist to see what factors may be present in your workplace.
Research shows that some work environments are more likely to contribute to the development of alcohol problems.
Whilst the presence of risk factors does raise the likelihood of employee alcohol problems, the absence of these factors doesn’t problem-proof your organisation. A comprehensive alcohol policy, an ethos of support and staff education will always have a role to play in keeping your organisation alcohol-safe.

The AUDIT screening tool.
A well established, evidence-based screening tool that helps individuals assess whether their alcohol use may be creating risks.
Managers can also use it with staff during return-to-work discussions, times of organisational change, when concerns about drinking arise or following an incident. Wellbeing champions can apply it as part of wider health and wellbeing initiatives.
Guidance on interpreting and applying the AUDIT tool is provided through our Alcohol Support First Aid training.

What people are saying...
“The workshop provoked follow up discussions, and one important short-term action which was the purchasing of breathalyser kits for our sales team to keep in their cars. Subsequently we have also now instigated a project to look at our whole approach to substance misuse, and we hope a company-wide policy will be introduced later in the year.
“I cannot recommend Lauren [and the organisation] highly enough for their professional, engaging, and thought-provoking workshops.”
