The Issues - Drugs and Alcohol

 
Awake's focus is on alertness: helping people to ensure that they are alert and fit for work. Tiredness and related impairments are further worsened even by low amounts of alcohol, various medicines and recreational drugs.   

Together, these effects put  workers at an unacceptable risk of accident, especially in safety-critical industries, such as road transport.

Our approach involves raising management and employees’ awareness of these risks, and we provide practical advice on how these risks can be minimised.
