The Growing Importance of Workplace Drug & Alcohol Testing in Ireland
With headlines like “Irish People Joint-Fourth Highest Consumers of Cocaine Globally” from the Global Report on Cocaine 2023, substance misuse in the workplace is becoming an increasingly urgent issue for Irish businesses. According to leading legal experts, queries about managing workplace drug and alcohol use are on the rise. This makes it more important than ever for businesses to adopt proactive measures, like regular and incident-based testing, to ensure a safe working environment.
Employers are not legally required to implement drug and alcohol testing, but the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 does allow employers to introduce policies for testing, provided it is reasonable, proportionate, and based on employee consent. We help businesses create compliant, legally defensible testing procedures that align with health and safety standards.
