Document background
The Company Drug and Alcohol Policy is a crucial document for organizations operating in Hong Kong that aim to maintain a safe, productive, and compliant workplace. This policy becomes necessary when organizations need to establish clear guidelines about substance use, ensure workplace safety, and comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements, particularly the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance and Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance. It provides comprehensive coverage of prohibited substances, testing procedures, disciplinary actions, and support mechanisms for affected employees. The policy is designed to protect both employer and employee interests while maintaining compliance with Hong Kong's privacy laws and employment regulations. It's particularly important for organizations with safety-sensitive positions or those operating in regulated industries.
