International Guide
to Workplace Substance-Abuse Prevention
Views and attitudes toward the management
and prevention of drug and alcohol problems vary considerably throughout
the world — influenced by cultural, political, and social values and
norms. Employers must recognize this when addressing drug and alcohol
use in the workplace on an international level.
This book analyzes employer and
employee rights and responsibilities regarding drug testing, treatment
and rehabilitation, and policy development, and provides an overview
of drug and alcohol use trends in 16 countries, spanning five continents.
Views and attitudes toward what
constitutes a drug or alcohol problem — and how to respond to it
— also vary throughout the world, as illustrated by this thoroughly
researched text.
Comprehensive and insightful, this
book guides you through the cultural and legal maze that affects
your ability to address substance abuse in your business in the
following countries: Australia, Brazil,
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands,
Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.
This guide provides you with an
inside look at the nature and extent of drug and alcohol abuse in
these countries, and the possibilities that this abuse will affect
your business. Additionally, this book gives you a detailed list
of contacts — including resources for treatment, drug testing, education,
and substance-abuse program implementation.
The International
Guide to Workplace Substance-Abuse Prevention is
primarily based on foreign-language research which has been translated
into English, analyzed, and summarized. It is an invaluable resource
for multinational employers, as well as substance-abuse educators
and researchers around the world.
