Report of the

Second International Private Sector Conference on Drugs in the Workplace and the Community

Porto Alegre, Brazil24 to 26 April 1995

2

1. Background

Today it is widely recognized that drug abuse is a complex and widespread phenomenonaffecting all sectors of society in nearly all countries of the world. One sector of society that isaffected by drug abuse and where interventions could be most effective is the workplace. Theworkers represent over 60% of the population and spend over half their waking hours in the workenvironment. In addition, workplace conditions have important linkages to the community and theworkers´ families, influencing their quality of life. It is generally accepted, that the workplace is thesecond most important social unit after the family.

It is as a consequence of the above recognition and the potential impact of drug abuseprevention interventions at and through the workplace and the community, that the internationalcommunity, governments and the private sector with the technical assistance of the United Nationssystem began a series of working meetings and initiatives to identify drug abuse preventionstrategies and intervention to confront this challenge.

The First Private Sector Conference on Drugs in the Workplace and the Community tookplace in Seville, Spain, in October 1993. The Conference brought together representatives ofenterprises, trade unions, specialized non-governmental organizations, from North America andEurope, as well as a representative from Social Service for Industry (SESI) of Rio Grande do Sulin Brazil. Discussion concentrated on reviewing existing corporate policies and exploring waysfor the development of comprehensive programmes for prevention and rehabilitation in theworkplace, as well as establishing partnerships between the private sector and the community.

The Second International Private Sector Conference on Drugs in the Workplace and theCommunity emerged as a proposal from the President of the Federation of Industries of the Stateof Rio Grande do Sul (FIERGS) and Regional Chairman of SESI, Mr. Dagoberto Lima Godoy, whoat Seville indicated the keen interest that existed in the private sector in his region to initiatecomprehensive drug abuse prevention programmes designed and implemented jointly by theenterprises and the community. Mr. Godoy offered SESI´s facilities and support for theorganization of the Conference.

The Second Conference, jointly organized by SESI, the United Nations International DrugControl Programme (UNDCP) and the International Labour Office (ILO), was held in Porto Alegre,Brazil, from 24 to 26 April 1995, and was attended by 84 participants from 16 countries in LatinAmerica and the Caribbean, North America, Europe and an observer from Asia representingenterprises, unions and non-governmental organizations. The Conference, which took placewithin the context of the United Nations Decade against Drug Abuse (1991-2000), was also alandmark event in the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations.

2. Objectives

The objective of the Second Private Sector Conference, with its regional focus, was topromote close interaction in the area of drug abuse prevention between representatives of thebusiness world and other vital components of civil society, namely the trade union movement,NGOs, health professionals, specialized agencies and programmes of the United Nations system.

3

The Conference aimed at promoting the sharing of concrete drug abuse preventionexperiences of the private sector organizations, unions, NGOs and the community, as well as insome cases the results of some joint programmes involving all or some of these partners.

Based on the review of the various national and regional programmes presented at theConference, participants identified essential elements of corporate policy needed for effectivebusiness-community partnerships for drug abuse prevention.

3. Presentation of the Agenda

The Agenda of the meeting (attached as Annex 1) concentrated on the issue of buildingbusiness and community partnerships for the prevention of substance abuse. The Agenda wasstructured around presentations by corporate, union and community representatives, whopresented their various perspectives and approaches undertaken to tackle the problem.

5. The Corporate, Union and Community Perspectives

5.1. The Corporate Perspective

Mr. Décio José Schnack, Director of the Minuano Food Manufacturing Company, Brazil,described his company´s “Quality of Life Programme”, begun in 1993. It focusses on preventiveand education activities placing particular emphasis on physical, psychological and social healthand targeting the workers and their families. The programme is based upon assuming that:problems of dependence are problems of health requiring assistance, not discipline; theprogramme should apply to all levels of the company; a full range of assistance should beavailable to all who wish to help themselves; and all information should be confidential. Theprogramme's objectives are: prevention, early identification and treatment of substance abuse ordependence; and improvement of productivity, safety and the quality of life of all employees.

The Representative of British Petroleum U.K., Dr. David Wright, reported his company´sreticence to adopt universal drug testing programmes, unlike some of B.P.`s main competitors.He focussed on his company´s commercial and community programmes in Colombia, in view oftheir significance in a country commonly associated with the drug supply issue. He stated thatBP´s operations in Colombia, with the recent discovery of large gas and oil deposits, were ofenormous importance to the country. BP´s Community Affairs Programme is based on thefollowing key principles: assisting with meeting essential community needs, complementing theState´s social functions, avoiding paternalism and dependency upon the Company, and respectingthe autonomy, culture and environment of the community.

5.2. The Community Perspective

Ms. Mónica Elena Villa Gutiérrez of “SURGIR”, an NGO based in Medellin, Colombia,spoke about the drug situation in her country. In 1990, SURGIR conducted a study on drug andalcohol abuse in the workplace for the Medellin area, which revealed that alcohol was abused by26.6% of the representative sample studied, while 4.5% abused tranquilizers, 2% “basuco” and0.4% abused cocaine. Since 1987, SURGIR implements prevention programmes directed at thelabour force. The programmes involve the active participation of the target community in problemidentification, design, implementation and evaluation of preventive interventions.

Mr. Hugo Adolfo Miguez of Vitae Qualitas, an Uruguayan NGO, presented the results ofthree programmes, two in Argentina involving the Electrical Workers Federation (Luz y Fuerza)and the Rail Workers´ Union (Union Ferroviaria), and one in Uruguay. He described themethodology applied in all cases, the various components and the results of the programmes.

5.3 The Union Perspective

The representative of the Brazilian Trade Union, Ms. Nair Goulart, noted that preventionactivities in Brazil were limited and mainly concentrated in the food, metal and leather industries.In these areas there was evidence of increased substance abuse. Health and safety committeesin the workplace were not as frequent as in other countries of the region, which were perceivedas an effective prevention mechanism. She emphasized the need further to develop Government

5

policies in this area.

Ms. Elena Carr, Director of Substance Abuse, AFL/CIO, USA, made a presentation onSubstance Abuse Prevention: “American Labor´s Perspective and Initiatives”. She drew attentionto the greater efficacy of Member Assistance Programmes (MAPs), i.e. those where theemployees themselves were the social agents, as opposed to Employee´s AssistanceProgrammes (EAPs), where employers and/or specialist personnel were the main access agentsto the labour force. Nevertheless, she noted that any programme was better than no programme.

6. Drug Abuse Trends: Impact on and Response from the Corporate World

A joint ILO/UNDCP presentation analysed the economic and social costs of drug abuse,the impact of substance abuse on the corporate world and prevention strategies in the workplaceand the community.

The UNDCP Deputy Executive Director, Mr. Bertrand Juppin de Fondaumière, analysedthe main characteristics of the illicit drug industry, and worldwide drug abuse and trafficking trends.He provided some illustration of the magnitude of the health and economic costs of drug abusein the community, the nexus between drug abuse, HIV/AIDS and prostitution, as well as the highcorrelation between drug abuse and crime.

Mr. Adrian Wilkinson, UNDCP/ILO consultant, presented a joint background paper on thePartnership with the Corporate World in Drug Abuse Prevention. He drew on data from studieson drug and alcohol abuse in Canada, the joint UNDCP/ILO/WHO Model Programme forPrevention of Drug and Alcohol Problems among Workers and their Families, and Code ofPractice on the Management of Alcohol- and Drug-related Issues in the Workplace recentlyadopted by the ILO.

The PAHO/WHO consultant, Dr. Carmen Có Freitas, emphasized in her presentation therole of the family in the prevention of substance abuse, in particular the capacity of the family topromote healthy lifestyles and behaviour through the provision of relevant information supportingpreventive education.

7. Signature of the UNDCP-SESI Programme

Mr. Luiz Carlos Lessa Vinholes, Brazilian Cooperation Agency of the Ministry of ExternalAffairs (ABC/MRE), Mr. Dagoberto Lima Godoy, President of FIERGS and Regional Chairmanof SESI, and Mr. Bertrand Juppin de Fondaumière, Deputy Executive Director of UNDCP signeda US$ 1.6 million programme, 80% funded by the Brazilian private sector. The programme willadapt to the Brazilian environment the methodology developed by the UNDCP/ILO/WHO “ModelProgrammes for the Prevention of Drugs and Alcohol Abuse Among Workers and their Families”.

8. Some Policy Options and Experiences: Building a Private Sector Programme inthe Workplace and the Community

Mr. Madgiel Huerto Hernandez, Training and Development Manager, Kaltex Corporation,

6

Mexico, presented his company´s “Alternative Programme for the Prevention of Alcohol and DrugAbuse in the Work Unit”, describing the company´s philosophy and the risk factors associated withdrug abuse in the workplace. The Programme is based on the UNDCP/ILO/WHO ModelProgramme of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Among Workers and their Families. It aimsat creating a prevention culture, targeting interventions directly at the workers and their familiesreaching out into the community. Programme results spoke for themselves: absenteeism haddecreased from 7% to 3.7%, accident rates had fallen, productivity and quality of output hadincreased.

The Coordinator of SESI´s Social Development programme, Ms. Graziela Beatriz Castro,presented the results of the research on “Use of Psychoactive Substances in the Workplace andthe Family”, conducted by her organization in 1994 as a first stage of SESI's cooperation withUNDCP. The research highlighted alcohol as the most frequently abused substance followed byprescription drugs containing psychoactive substances, tobacco and illicit drugs. A study was alsoconducted, in cooperation with the employers, on business attitudes toward and perceptions ofthe alcohol and drug abuse problem in the workplace, and related interest in initiating preventionactivities in cooperation with SESI. Based on the data collected and its subsequent analysis, SESIhad elaborated a drug and alcohol abuse prevention programme for workers of Rio Grande doSul. The prevention programme is joining SESI's experience with the United Nations interagencymodel programme. The result is a flexible model which can be adapted to the different enterprises,a group of 130 professionals trained in the implementation of the model and the preventiveeducation of 24,000 workers as an initial objective.

Mr. Owe Linton, Managing Director, Port of Sundsvall, Sweden, presented details ofSundsvall´s project “Workplaces against Drugs”. The project is a joint programme of eightenterprises working closely with community partners including the school system. He stressed theimportance of targeting workers and their families simultaneously.

Mr. Carlos Lucena, Director, Medical Division, Esso, Brazil, outlined the measures adoptedby his company in relation to the drug and alcohol abuse problem, which included education andawareness raising activities, rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation support and identification andcontainment of the problem. He emphasized that random testing was an integral part of theExxon Programme.

The Director of the Employee and Family Assistance Programme (EFAP) of MacMillanBloedel Ltd, Canada, Mr. Jim Stimson, made a joint presentation with Mr. Neil Menard, FirstVice-President, Industrial Wood and Allied Workers of Canada (IWA) describing the joint union-management-employee and family assistance programme established on the principles of localownership and collective accountability. The model is built from the ground up, owned andoperated by the people it serves, with a wide range of educational initiatives. The model has aproven track record and has been adopted in 19 communities, providing services to over 230,000persons through the partnership of some 270 public and private employers from small family runbusiness to large corporations.

9. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS 9.1 Review of current situation in the workplace in Latin America As in all parts of the world the quality of data on prevalence and incidence of drug and alcoholabuse in the workplace varies greatly among regions and enterprises in Latin America. It wasnoted that recent information on these issues in Rio Grande do Sul has been documented in thereport of SESI/RS entitled Use of Psychoactive Substances in the Workplace. The ChileanAssociation of Health and Safety has accumulated information on incidence and cost of substanceabuse among workers. In Mexico enterprises participating in the UNDCP/ILO/WHO interagencyprogramme have documented information on this subject. In Uruguay there is a national study ondrug use within the economically active population. The National Council on Drugs is trying toestablish a database on this issue with the support of CICAD/OAS. The major employers inVenezuela are undertaking a study of prevalence. There is also a study in Colombia on the extentof drug abuse in the workplace (DNE). In a 1992 study of the Ministry of Health there are dataavailable on the prevalence of alcoholism and the use of tobacco and other illicit drugs. There was a general consensus that there exists a lack of objective and reliable studies on drugabuse in the workplace. However it was agreed that the reported studies indicate the availabilityof valid procedures to make such assessment in the Latin American continent. Data on alcoholabuse are usually easier to obtain. Illicit drug use tend to conform to the patterns of the generalpopulation. From some general epidemiological studies it is possible to obtain information on theoccupational status of drug and alcohol users which confirm this pattern. Some companies conducting compulsory testing monitor their working population morefrequently, but the utilization of this method was considered unnecessary by the participantsunless related to matters of safety and risk to physical plant and the environment. Where initiatives exist, they tend to consist of policies on the use of drugs and alcohol in theworkplace, and the opportunity for referral to treatment agencies and self-help groups in thecommunity for workers with problems of dependence. Frequently such programmes aresupported by educational material for employees. In Brazil, responsibility for administration ofsuch programmes frequently resides with the health and safety committee within the enterprise.SESI has been providing services for workers with drug and alcohol problems for more thantwenty years through programmes which have been systematically developed on the basis of theiraccumulated experience. Most enterprises, particularly small or medium-sized businesses, do not have such programmesfor their employees. In Uruguay in two districts of Montevideo, a project named RED has beenimplemented with the cooperation of the community and the enterprises. Participants were unanimous in recommending that the decision to implement a workplacepolicy is the responsibility of senior management, but usually the responsibility for developing thepolicy and implementing a programme should be delegated to a committee including occupationalhealth and safety personnel, workers´ representatives and personnel officers. It is often difficult to define the community to which the workplace relates. For example in largecities the workforce may be distributed over a wide and diverse area. In remote sites, such as

8

offshore oilrigs, there may be no defined community apart from the group of employees of theenterprise. At a minimum, the community would consist of the workers, but might be expandedto include the workers and their families, and may further include designated social systemsrelating to the workplace. These social systems can include local authorities, the local schools,the health and welfare system of the area in which the business is located, and other formal andinformal systems. Local health services which can attend the needs of employees with drug oralcohol problems are a particularly significant component of the local community. It was agreed in principle that good communication with, and utilisation of, relevant communitygroups is a logical pragmatic principle for the efficient development and implementation of anyworkplace programme. 9.2 Model Programme for Drug Abuse Prevention Model programmes should employ a holistic approach to issues of employee health and well-being in the context of which misuse of alcohol and drugs can be addressed. Representatives of all sectors of the enterprise should be responsible for the design andimplementation of the programme with the support of top management. When the requiredexpertise is not present in the company, it should be solicited from the community (health andwelfare services, NGOs, the academic community).

Participants identified six conceptually distinct components of a model programme:

Cemployee education;

Cintervention/prevention; Cresearch; Cpolicy; Ccommunication strategy; and Cquality control procedure.

Some of these components would necessarily proceed in sequence but others could beconducted in parallel. A programme should always be directed to all employees of the enterpriseand might be extended to the family of employees and other members of the community.Participants indicated that education activities should consist of events directed to all employeesto coincide with the launching of a new programme or modification of the programme. In addition,as a continuing activity, education should be offered to selected groups of employees to maintainthe momentum of ongoing programme. Intervention/prevention should consist of three levels:

Cpreventive education for all employees; Corientation and counselling for persons identified to be at high risk of developing problems; and, Crehabilitation services for those workers with established dependence.

The research component should be implemented early in the programme’s development. Itsinitial function is to analyse and diagnose the situation in the company as a baseline against whichevaluation of the programme can be conducted. A critical component of programme development

9

is the clear articulation of the desired norms of the culture context of the workplace. These normsshould be articulated in written policies which underlie the implementation of the programme.Those responsible for the programme should develop a communication strategy through whichthe rationale and objective of the programme are presented to selected audiences. The audiencesshould always include employees but frequently could also include significant groups in thecommunity. Finally a quality assurance component should be established to monitorimplementation of the other five components and provide for rapid correction of developingproblems.

9.3 Quantifiable objectives of the programme

C Reduction in the incidence and prevalence of drug and alcohol misuse among workers.

C Reduction of the factors known to increase risk of substance misuse. For example noiseand stress in the work environment, limited opportunity for advancement and theavailability of alcohol or drugs in the workplace.

C Reduction in the incidence of accidents, days of sick leave and absenteeism and othercosts.

Specific changes in attitudes and behaviours (such as interpersonal conflict) among employeesmay also be targeted. The lack of good scientific data on the effects of drugs on performance,and data on the cost-effectiveness of different intervention programmes hampers the developmentof objectives and performance targets which will be a powerful motivator towards programmedevelopment.

9.4 Qualitative objective Among qualitative measures assessment of quality of life and job satisfaction are useful toolsof evaluation of holistic programmes.

9.5 Interaction between workplace and community components The participants recognized that it is the responsibility of management to initiate developmentof workplace programmes. When trade unions are represented in the enterprise, theirrepresentatives should be included in the development of workplace policies. Governmentsfrequently offer services which can facilitate programme development and support implementation.Non-governmental organizations frequently have contacts and resources that can be used in asimilar consultative and supporting role. International organizations have an important function inpromoting awareness of the value of workplace programmes, as is the case in the presentconference and in being the repository of information on the variety of programmes usedworldwide and their effectiveness. Recognition of the legitimate interest and useful contributionswhich all potential partners can provide is the best means to reach consensus and compromiseamong the above partners.

10

Two general principles should be applied;

C The first is that workplace policies and programmes should generally apply to allemployees of participating enterprises and not be focussed on specific groups ofworkers. The nature and structure of work sectors should be taken into considerationin forming plans for the implementation of the general policy.

C The second general principle is that all psychoactive substances (alcohol, prescribedand non-prescribed medications and illicit drugs) should be included within the generalpolicy to prevent problems in the workplace.

As a general rule it was noted that international, national and regional organizations advocatingthe adoption of workplace programmes should incorporate such policies into the management oftheir own human resources. Finally, it is important that general models for the promotion of workplace programmes toprevent alcohol and drug problems be sufficiently flexible or adaptable to the great variety ofcultural and organizational structures to whom they will apply.

9.6 Developing a business partnership with the community. The prevention activities implemented in the workplace are not sufficient if the preventivemessage is not extended to the communities. Coordination with schools, health services, massmedia, non-governmental organizations is important to cover all the aspects of the community life. There are some problems in the cooperation and coordination between different actors. At thegovernmental level it is particularly difficult to achieve coordination on drug abuse prevention. Itis important to establish networks for cooperation at all levels.

10. RECOMMENDATIONS

Participants unanimously recommended action in the following areas in order to promote andsupport workplace initiatives and developing business-community partnership for the preventionof substance abuse:

C Research into the incidence and prevalence of substance abuse as well as attitudestowards drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace and examination of the relationshipbetween alcohol and drug consumption and its workplace consequences. For this purposevalid and low-cost assessment methodologies of drug abuse in the workplace should bedeveloped.

C Evaluation of prevention and assistance programmes in order to establish their value andcost-effectiveness to enterprises, their workers and the community in which they operate.

C Compiling a compendium of existing workplace programmes and business-communitycollaborative schemes and its wide dissemination for potential adaptation andimplementation by interested enterprises and communities.

11

C Facilitating the exchange of information in this field among enterprises, unions,practitioners and community agencies through the organization of seminars and workshopsas well as publication of newsletter.

C Developing and conducting orientation and training programmes for management andunion representatives as well as key staff engaged in the development of programmes.

C Mobilization of regional and national resources by government, employers and workers’organizations for the development of workplace initiatives and awareness.

C Integration of drug abuse prevention in the workplace into national strategies on demandreduction and increasing cooperation and coordination between the various governmentagencies concerned.

C Development of regional programmes by UNDCP and ILO, in collaboration with otherorganizations as appropriate, to provide policy advice and technical support for thepromotion of action at the national level. In this context the promotion and utilization of theILO Code of Practice on the Management of Alcohol- and Drug- related Issue should bepursued.

Conclusion

Overlap between the groups is expected and desirable. The report of the four groups willbe integrated in order to determine a single final report which will cover all aspects of the workinggroups' discussions. The focus of the Second International Private Sector conference on Drugsin the Workplace and the community provides a unique opportunity to match a strong need forunderstanding and assistance with relevant available resources regarding the problem of drugabuse problems in the workplace and the community. The activities undertaken must reflect thegreatest sensitivity to distinct national and local culture, customs, perceptions, and values. Trustand time will be required if an international partnership addressing this issue is to be successful.
