Life-Saving Commitment #7: No Alcohol or Drugs While Working or Driving

Using alcohol or illegal drugs, or misusing legal drugs or other substances, will reduce your ability to do your job safely.

You should: 

• Always inform the Supervisor or the person in charge if you are taking medicine that may have an effect on your performance
• If in doubt, always check with your Supervisor or the person in charge who may seek medical advice
• Not use, keep, sell or distribute illegal drugs
• Intervene if you see a case of alcohol or drug abuse

If you are the Supervisor or the person in charge of the work you should:

• Only assign work to people who are fit to work
• Educate your workers that illegal drugs could constitute prescription drugs given to another person/employee
