Product Overview
This Alcohol and Other Drugs Plan is a comprehensive, ready-to-use safety document designed specifically for Australian businesses operating in high-risk sectors such as mining and resources, transport and logistics, building and construction, civil construction and earthworks, and manufacturing and production. It provides a clear, practical framework for managing alcohol and other drug (AOD) risks, supporting strong work health and safety outcomes and robust WHS compliance.
Developed by WHS specialists, this Plan helps organisations control impairment risks associated with alcohol, illicit substances, and prescription or over-the-counter medications. It sets out clear expectations for workers and contractors, defines roles and responsibilities, and outlines consistent processes for testing, incident response and rehabilitation.

- Clear definitions, roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors, workers and contractors
- Detailed guidance on risk identification, assessment and control measures
- Coverage of prescription and over-the-counter medication management
- Optional testing regime framework (pre-employment, random, for-cause, post-incident)
- Practical supervisor guidance for managing suspected impairment
- Templates and checklists to streamline safety documentation and implementation
- Aligned with Australian work health and safety legislation and regulator guidance
Benefits
- Supports WHS compliance by demonstrating a systematic approach to managing AOD-related risks

- Saves time by providing a structured, editable document that can be quickly adapted to your operations
