Dear Colleague,

Drug and Alcohol Testing

Health and Safety is on the Staffing Match agenda and we are making various changes to improve the Health and Safety of all employees. We are implementing random and “for cause” testing, ie.in the event of an accident, we can further improve the Health and Safety of SM Global workers and other road users, and potentially reduce the number of accidents that can occur. Drug and Alcohol testing is common practice in both the warehousing and logistics industry we operate in, and therefore SM Global would like to align itself with other retailers in this sector.

Who will be Tested ?

Any Staffing Match employee / Sub Contractor can be tested ; no employee group is exempt from testing. Any approach to testing will be completed with a fair and consistent approach.

Who will be doing the testing ?

A third party testing company will be utilized to conduct the tests, either on random dates across all shifts or in the event of an accident, and carry out random testing or testing on the employee where there is concern that the use of drugs / Alcohol may be a risk. The Drug testing will seek evidence of examples of a wide range of Drugs including prescribed drugs. The results of the tests are available instantly (Alcohol) and within fifteen minutes (drugs), and then can be taken into account in any subsequent accident investigation and potential disciplinary action as per your employee handbook. For consistency across the group, and given that we have drivers who operate into Scotland, we will be testing at the Scottish limit of 50mg per litre.

What is defined as an Accident ?

An Accident is defined as any incident that causes damage or harm, Which could be; a driver being involved in an accident in the yard or on the highway where the police are not involved, a forklift driver in the warehouse damaging the racking, or a member of the office team falling down the stairs. This list is not exhaustive.

When will this be happening ?

This will take place with immediate effect. If you take any medication then please let a member of the Staffing Match team know so this can be noted on your file. Should you have any concerns or wish to discuss the contents of this letter, please contact a member of Staffing Match.

Yours Sincerely

SM Global Consultancy Ltd
