Perhaps some thing that we should equip our selves with are tools to deal with the issue of people presenting for work after a big night. From the statistical data that has been presented regarding capture rates, DAMP testing can be seen to be far less effective that DAMP education.
If you think that you can detect alcohol on a workmates breath, what are you to do? There are some options that we can adopt. 1) Do nothing and hope nothing bad happens. 2) Dob them in straight away to the company or CASA. 3) Take them aside and tell them that you think that they are affected by alcohol and suggest that they remove themselves from duty.
The course of action that you choose would depend on what you consider the most practical and ethical under the circumstances. I have used option 3 previously. There was no argument and I made a good friend in the process
