Drugs and Alcohol Awareness for Employees

It is estimated that up to 17 million working days are lost each year because of drug and alcohol-related sickness, costing the economy an estimated £7.3 billion a year.

Surveys show that as many as one in four employees admit to making a mistake at work due to being hungover, and 83% admit to a hangover making a difference to the way they work. Economical and professional impacts aside, substance and alcohol misuse can lead to a range of social psychological and medical problems for an individual.

Developed with drug and alcohol awareness professionals, our Drug and Alcohol Awareness for Employees course is designed to help inform your employees of the risks associated with alcohol and substance misuse, offer advice for individuals and employers on the early warning signs that someone is developing a substance misuse problem and provide strategies on how to deal with it. It also provides a forum to introduce your organisation’s Drug and Alcohol Policy, and to inform employees of their responsibilities related to this in the workplace.

What our clients say

From national pub chains to global insurance, our clients value our expertise and service.

I have found the team at Praxis42 to be one of the best providers of fire risk assessments in the UK. The fire expertise, together with a robust quality assurance process, means the quality of fire risk assessments are high.

The customer services ethos of the leadership team, together with the number of directly employed fire risk assessors means Praxis42 are quick to respond and react to our changing prioritises and resourcing requirements.

Rachel Price – Director, Health and Safety Consulting UK&I at AECOM

Praxis42 have provided health, safety and food hygiene audits and risk assessments for our public house estate for nearly 10 years and visit over 3200 premises annually.  Their multi- skilled team understand what is required and apply pragmatic solutions to help us ensure compliance across the complex hospitality environment. Coupled with this they use technology to deliver and are flexible in their delivery and enable us to continuously improve our risk profile and are a pleasure to work with.

Dan Dutfield – Group Safety Manager – Ei Group

We worked with Praxis42 in August 2020 to obtain a Covid-19 Return to Work eLearning module for our staff. The module from Praxis42 stood out from others as it delivered on all fronts: the content was excellent, it was visually engaging as a result of using the latest eLearning software and the user experience was fantastic.

Willian Brown – HR Manager – The Glasgow School of Art

I would have no hesitation in recommending Praxis42 and their interactive and engaging training solutions.

Ian Horsman, Head of Health, Safety and Environment at Atos UK

The compliance learning management system tracks, records and reports on the training which provides just the right level of information for me to manage completion of the programme. Working with Praxis42 was very simple and they were helpful and professional throughout the process.

Marianne Pendray – Director of Operations, Legal and Compliance – ITV

Praxis42 were chosen after an extensive tender process earlier this year. The quality and range of the e-learning courses, assessments and documents were excellent and the ability to tailor these to the specific needs of Hiscox customers greatly appreciated. The team has shown themselves to be highly professional, flexible and dedicated to building a long-term partnership with Hiscox and delivering a great experience to our customers.

Chris Parker – UK Underwriting Vendor Manager – Hiscox

Praxis42 understands how a compliance programme is delivered and supports me at a strategic level, with insights and help with what often appears a complex subject, with pragmatic clear guidance, advice and solutions.

Ross Warden – Retail Director – Kurt Geiger

We like working with Praxis42 as they are large enough to manage the business requirement but are small enough to ensure that there is a personal relationship to assist with dynamic situations at speed to ensure that McColl’s needs are met.

Alison Fagan – Health and Safety Manager – McColl’s

We are delighted that our partnership with the Praxis42 team has been extended for a further three years and are looking forward to working with them on the next phase of our safety journey.

Ellen Davis – HSW Operations and Vendor Manager – BT
