Safe-Tee Management has extensive experience in helping organisations to develop manageable and realistic drugs and alcohol policies. We believe in a three-tiered approach to tackling the problem within the workplace: screening, counseling and rehabilitation.
Within these guidelines, we'll work with you to design the ideal policy for your organisation and implement it seamlessly. We will:
- Understand your organization’s culture
- Understand and assess the nature and hazards of your business
- Assess any previous drug or alcohol related incidents, and recommend a strategy to reduce the risk and effects of problems in the future
- Choose the most suitable screening process for your organisation and implement it smoothly
- Provide necessary support for any employees with problems
- Plan how to implement your new drug and alcohol policy and communicate it to your staff
- Ensure all your staff understand the new policy, are aware of the support system available for those with alcohol and drug misuse problems, and understand what will happen if they don't comply with the policy
- Help you set up appropriate disciplinary procedures
- Train Management & Supervisors to recognise the signs and symptoms of Drug & Alcohol impairment.
Counseling and rehabilitation
It is difficult for organisations to deal with alcohol and drug-related issues effectively. Managers are inexperienced and not qualified to cope with problem individuals. Also, maintaining any level of confidentiality is almost impossible to achieve.
The service provided by Safe-Tee Management can be of enormous benefit both to the employees involved and the organisation. It can lead to quicker rehabilitation and a faster return to effective employment. Also, you will be recognised within the workplace as a caring employer by working with a professional organisation.
Counseling enables us to uncover the individual's medical, emotional or psychological issues. The level and length of treatment is dependent on the impact drug or alcohol abuse has had on the individual's health and wellbeing. Those with chronic dependency are harder to rehabilitate, as they have more complex medical problems.
After each counseling session, subject to confidentiality, a progress report will go to the individual who instigated the referral, probably a line manager or occupational health practitioner.
Employees with a dependency on drugs or alcohol are also likely to need a rehabilitation program. With our extensive experience, we can determine the most appropriate clinic and treatment for the needs of the individual, and provide a cost-effective solution for your company.
Safe-Tee Management utilises the services of a Social Worker who is also a certified counselor to assist the employer and employee to develop a plan and follow-thru.
A complete health care service for your company
Our drug and alcohol service can be combined with a Safe-Tee Management Employee Assistance program, which provides confidential support, guidance and counseling for any personal or work-related problems. This combination of services can work particularly well in organisations where employees are encouraged to seek help.
Customer benefits
Safe-Tee Management has the knowledge and expertise to help you maintain total compliance with the regulations surrounding drug and alcohol testing, specifically the Canada Human Rights Commission’s stand on testing in the workplace. However, employers expect much more than basic compliance-related services. They are also concerned about the health, safety and well-being of their workers.
Our drug and alcohol services help employers achieve all of their program objectives. We help you provide a safer, more productive work environment that yields:
- Early identification of drug- and alcohol-related issues
- Decreased likelihood of drug- and alcohol-related injuries and incidents among current employees
- Clearer employee judgment, better decision-making, and improved quality of products or services
- Fewer incidents of employee theft and destruction of company property
- Reduced claim costs, healthcare expenses and insurance rates for the employer
- Greater awareness among all employees that the employer is concerned about their health, safety and well-being
- Improved employee attendance, morale and retention.
