If you work within transport and logistics, you know it is a bustling industry with unique challenges, and one which is growing in the UK and Europe. As such, health and safety is undoubtedly one of the main priorities in the management of workforces in this sector.
Health & Safety
The well-being of employees working in such a high-risk sector is of paramount importance, not just for their peace of mind, but also for yours.
Recent studies show that around 10% of drivers screened are testing positive for drugs of abuse - typically used to relieve boredom, or to stay awake.

Our Recommendations For Transport & Logistics
A robust Drug and Alcohol Policy is the first port of call. We believe in prevention where-ever possible, so having a pro-active approach and affecting the culture in the business is important, as you want to address any substance problems head-on before an issue or scenario arises.
Having drug and alcohol screening in place supports your policy and sets the stance from the top down that these substances have no place at work.
