Tackling alcohol misuse

A charity which provides
advice to businesses on
workplace health issues,
Health@Work (H@W)is
helping to lead a 30 month
project, funded partly by
the European Commision
which aims to deal with
alcohol misuse through the
workplace.

The first phase of work will be a
review of existing good practice
across Europe. After this a series of
12 pilot schemes will be developed
and implemented in the UK and
throughout Europe.

Frances Molloy, chief executive at
Health@Work, said: “Our
charity is proud to be one
of the lead partners in this
initiative. The toolkit we
are developing will help
inform future policy on
alcohol and act as a
guidance for businesses on
an international level, on
how to deal with alcohol issues in
the workplace.”
