Yes, link works fine.
On page 13 this:
: First, the majority of employers who gave
evidence did not believe that drug misuse was a
serious or widespread problem for them.
Second, employers in safety-critical
industries stressed the importance of
implementing drug testing in a fair and
transparent way.
Third, employers said that, even in safetycritical
environments, drug testing could be
divisive and counterproductive if it was
clumsily handled.
Fourth, a number of employers emphasised
the need for welfare and support services for
staff with alcohol and drug problems.
Most interesting....forgive me for reading between the lines here and extrapolating wildly but....the majority of employers who gave evidence who didn't believe there was a problem....I wonder what sort of employers they are? Perhaps not the ones working in "safety critical" environments....hmmm?
