Construction project I work on has a breathalizer at the gate, need to blow in it to get into the gate. swipe ID card, blow in the machine. If it registers any % an email gets sent straight to Project Director and Safety Manager with id card details.
Nothing random anymore... |

They apparently did it after some serious accidents and also a nasty death in which alcohol was a contributing factor. Really...look, I don't drink at all, so help me understand... You really either can't do without a drink at work, or simply must drink every night when you know you'll have to be at work in a few hours and can't use any self-control on your intake, so expect the workplace to just give you leeway and let you possibly endanger your workmates by still being under the weather to some extent...? ![]() Wow...it's right then what they say that Australia has a "drinking culture" where access to booze is more important than anything else... ![]() |

It's the same with people who steal from their workplace, where the amount stolen is worth a couple of days pay. Is it really worth your job for that???

Unlike the days of yore, you know your guys are consuming booze on the work premises, if they have a mishap on site or have a prang on the way home, the finger will be pointed at you. You are responsible for their health and wellbeing. Some people don't like it but that's the way it is.

I'm a bus driver. Though we're limited to 0.02 (to cover some medications - though you must have a valid prescription, and a letter from your doctor to justify taking the medication), I simply won't drink if I have to drive in the next 24 hours. It's not worth it.
The other weekend I went to a "family" BBQ, where it seemed like everyone was drinking to get plastered. I was over being there about 15 minutes after walking in. They thought they were SO smart, but they just came across as pathetic. Even the "adults" twice my age! Like the bogan mother who admonished her recently-turned-18-year-old daughter on having "wasted time" since her birthday, because she hadn't been drunk yet... so they plied her with alcohol. I had to go and pick up Dad from a bus driving job nearby (Defqon), and return him to the site later that night, so I refused to drink anything but bottled water or soft drink cans I opened myself, despite these morons trying to talk me into having "just one" of whatever they were mixing. On the way home, I got pulled up for an RBT and drug testing, and I didn't have to worry about if I might have been near to or over the limit. I don't understand why people risk it.

Because testing pensioners gets tricky as they can blame medication.

I find those who must drink have minimal to no will power, same goes for smokers. It's definitely a mental thing, my doctor explained to me yesterday with an analogy for changing my way of thinking with fast food as a treat. She said do you like the taste and does it satisfy you to which I said well no, not really. "So why do it?" Let's apply that to alcohol. Do you like the taste of it? If you do, then you do like having the hangover that goes with it? If not, why do it? Don't jeopardise what you've worked for in life by being stupid with your vices...
