  3. Overview of Guidance • Set up and pilot development phase: engaging stakeholders (including overcoming obstacles to participation) and developing materials and resources. • Implementation phase: implementation within workplaces (for basic, intermediate and comprehensive level interventions). • Follow-up and analysis phase.

  4. Set-Up and Pilot Development: Engaging Stakeholders • Examples of who to engage for Type A (internal delivery pilots) and Type B (external delivery pilots) • Obstacles to engagements and approaches to overcome them – arguments and tactics

  5. Set-Up and Pilot Development: Developing Materials • Examples of types of materials to support intervention: • Informational • Promotional • Facilitating materials • Guides and templates

  6. Implementation: Overview BASIC LEVEL • Awareness raising for employees and employers • Policy assessment, review and improvement INTERMEDIATE • Training for capacity building • Brief interventions and advice COMPREHENSIVE • Structured programmes, referral systems, testing where appropriate and monitoring procedures in place

  7. Implementation: Basic Level Intervention 1. Deliver key messages about alcohol consumption and reducing alcohol-related harm: • creating awareness about the risks related to the use of alcohol in the workplace and for the health and well-being • information on the availability of treatment and support • explaining alcohol policies and procedures 2. Review & assess current position re policies and procedures; 3. Work with organisations to enhance and put in place effective, comprehensive and robust policies and procedures

  8. Implementation: Intermediate Level Intervention • Capacity building training for key workplace representatives: • impact of alcohol consumption • assessing and recognising signs and symptoms of alcohol misuse • providing knowledge and skills on how to act on this information • learning how to implement a comprehensive alcohol policy • gaining skills on how to communicate with employees about alcohol issues 2. Brief interventions incorporating screening and advice about alcohol consumption and use - including deployment of the AUDIT tool.

  9. Implementation: Comprehensive Level Intervention Workplace implements “good practice” alcohol programme for the workforce: • alcohol policy for workforce and corporate events; • a structured programme of awareness raising (perhaps as part of a wider well-being programme); • a confidential system for supporting staff screening, using the AUDIT tool, and referral, where appropriate, for alcohol treatment (ideally to independent treatment services); • where appropriate, testing specific staff (such as drivers, etc for alcohol levels during working hours); • systems to monitor alcohol-related sickness absence.
