BUILDING workers on Victorian government projects will face random drug and alcohol testing from July 1.
VICTORIAN Finance Minister Robert Clark said requiring all building companies that tender for taxpayer-funded projects worth $10 million or more to test workers for drug and alcohol use among measures he said would cut substance abuse, intoxication and drug dealing on building sites.
Head contractors must perform a minimum number of random tests on workers each month and identify what methods they will use, Mr Clark said on Friday.Contractors will determine the level of intoxication they deem unsafe and how workers will be sanctioned if drugs or alcohol are detected in their systems, he said.Tenderers will have to list site security measures, which may include CCTV, a swipe card access system and photographic or biometric security systems in a bid to stamp out criminal activity."We believe this will save taxpayers' money and it will help ensure law-abiding workplaces," Mr Clark said."We are introducing these guidelines to ensure that every contractor that tenders for Victorian government construction projects needs to commit to have processes in place to guard against drug and alcohol abuse in their workplaces and also to ensure site security."When the guidelines were first announced, Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) Victorian secretary John Setka said the guidelines would unfairly single out construction workers."There is no epidemic of drug taking on construction sites," he said.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
