1.8 Drugs and Alcohol Policy

Alcohol
In order to avoid unsafe practices in the workplace, Harrison Industrial has a strict policy on
the consumption of alcohol during working hours and on the level of alcohol in the system of
employees whilst working. The policy covers both being cautious about drinking prior to
attending work and drinking during breaks on and off the premises.

Employees are required to take reasonable care of themselves and others who could be
affected by what they do.

There should be no consumption of alcohol on or off the premises of the Company or its
customers within working hours.

Alcohol Levels

All employees must ensure that, when they attend work or return to
work following a break taken off the premises, the alcohol level in their
system does not exceed the Company’s maximum permitted limit. This
applies to all employees of the Company, whatever their role, and
whether or not the employee will be driving a Company vehicle or their
own vehicle on Company business.

The Company’s maximum permitted limit is 1/3 of the legal drink drive limit, as set out in the
table below:

Level of Alcohol Legal Drink Drive The Company’s Maximum
Limit Permitted Limit

Micrograms per 35 11.6
100 millilitres of
breath

Milligrammes per 80 26.6

100 millilitres of
blood
Milligrammes per 107 35.6
100 millilitres of

urine

It is important to remember the ‘morning after effect’. Alcohol consumed the previous evening
may still be in the blood stream the following morning.
