In the European Union many individuals will partake in drinking a little wine with their lunch or dinner to aid their enjoyment of the meal or as an appetizer for food. Alcohol is also a drug of dependence. Some individuals will drink too much and some of them will become addicted. Access to alcohol, binge drinking, and younger drinkers can lead to unsafe workplaces, absenteeism, fraud and criminal behaviour. Alcohol at Work is a definitive guide to the problem, exploring its nature and scale and providing a complete range of ideas and techniques to help create a policy in the workplace and develop appropriate and effective measures for monitoring and tackling alcohol abuse. The key collective message is solve the problem - take the alcohol, not the person, out of the workplace. In the UK alone, research puts the cost of alcohol abuse in the workplace at Â£2 billion a year. This is a must-have reference for human resource, occupational health and risk managers, as well as those involved in tackling criminal behaviour such as fraud and violence at work resulting from alcohol abuse and addiction.

’...There is something for everyone here, and it is probable that it will be purchased as a reference book by the health and safety, occupational health or human resources departments. They should ensure that all managers have the opportunity to learn from the information and the structure of the book provides a template for internal training sessions...’ Addiction Journal '[The] chapters use summaries, questions and activities to help readers assimilate the contents. The activities range from being asked simply to reflect on a particular subject to the use of well-drawn case studies (with follow-up work via recommended reading). Together with a well-written and well-arranged text they make for a powerfully practical and thought provoking book.' RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal
