Common use of PREAMBLE Clause in Contracts

PREAMBLE. All parties in the Victorian Building Industry are committed to the provision of safe and healthy workplaces. The attainment of this objective can be undermined by the hazardous use of alcohol and other drugs by some individuals on occasions. There are many factors which determine alcohol and other drug usage patterns. Some relate to personal and social matters. Others may relate to work culture and conditions. Research has highlighted that the building industry has a high level of alcohol use. This may affect occupational health and safety on building sites. This policy aims to facilitate the implementation of practical ways in which building workers themselves can address the alcohol and other drug issues which affect them, their families or co- workers. It provides guidelines which may be adapted to meet the specific conditions of different workplaces. • Safety is paramount on building sites. • Prevention of safety and health problems is the primary goal of alcohol and drug policy formulation. • Policy implementation and program management is best founded on consultation and collaboration between employees and management. • Employees with alcohol and/or other drug problems will be provided with appropriate assistance, support and access to intervention programs without jeopardising their employment. • To establish a program run by and for building workers, which enables alcohol and other drug issues to be addressed on building sites. • To expand awareness of alcohol and other drug use as an occupational health and safety issue. • To enable industrial factors likely to influence alcohol and other drug use (eg. Extended working hours, peer group pressure) to be recognised and addressed. • To provide a basis for health promotion in the building industry. • To enable a consistent approach to alcohol and other drug issues across the building industry in Victoria. • To set out collaborative procedures for dealing with alcohol and drug issues on building sites. • To provide a structure on-site to assist workers to get any help they need for alcohol and/or other drug problems, confidentially and without jeopardising their employment. • To enable the development of a network of people; resources and programs managed by and sensitive to the needs of building workers with alcohol and drug problems. • To have this alcohol and other drugs policy adopted for implementation on specific building sites by meetings of workers employed on those sites. • To increase knowledge amongst workers about health and safety risks associated with alcohol and other drug use. • To maintain optimum safety on site and to reduce the harmful impact of alcohol and other drug use. • To provide education about the safe use of alcohol and other drugs. • To train and resource health and safety representatives and other relevant on-site personnel (where appropriate) to assist co-workers who are affected by alcohol and/or other drugs.
