At Alcohol Breathalysers (Pty) Ltd, we are very interested to know how road users relate to alcohol, how they consume alcohol and how they think it relates to road safety. At these parties, typically inordinate amounts of employer-sponsored alcohol is available, most of the times to the detriment of employees who may then drive while under the influence of alcohol after the event. Many employers provide their employees with alcohol at these events and do not assume an obligation to ensure employees’ post-event safety. An effective way to ensure the safety of your employees is to make available breathalysers for their own personal use. Breathalysers help us figure out our average blood alcohol concentration at any given time when a breath alcohol reading is taken and informs of us of where we stand in terms of legal driving limits or work-place limits. The safest rule when it comes to drinking alcohol however is to never drive directly after drinking any amount of alcohol. It’s almost impossible to completely measure the cost of this loss to families, businesses and economies. One of the most effective ways to help reduce drunk driving is to target and educate those who drink alcohol to help them understand the effects of alcohol. This means a greater effect on our driving ability and a higher risk of road crashes. Breathalysers help road users understand whether or not they are safe to drive. We as humans however cannot make the right decisions without knowing what alcohol does to our bodies, and the legalities that come with drunk driving. The amount of money that alcohol and substance abuse costs South African businesses and their respective employees is huge and could otherwise have been better spent. The Law that governs general workplace safety is the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993 (OHSA) and in the Mining Industry, safety is governed by the Mine Health and Safety Act. Some company policies provide for voluntary alcohol testing, while other companies test all employees entering their place of work. As a prerequisite to the operation of machinery, all employees must be sober and tested. Generally when employees leave work, there are no measures put in place to detect if there is alcohol in their breath. Therefore, it is imperative to keep in mind that alcohol abuse and misuse in the workplace is nothing less than a deathly wish that can be completely averted. If not for families and loved ones, then for the good of the business and ultimately the economy of our country. Within the work environment and out on the roads, blowing into your own breathalyser or that of the company will reduce the risk of alcohol related accidents occurring. The Global Report on Alcohol and Health states that an estimated 2,5 million deaths occur annually from alcohol related causes. Alcohol related deaths vary from driving under the influence of alcohol, alcohol induced violence and inebriated pedestrians walking into roads to accidents occurring whilst operating heavy machinery under the influence of alcohol. It is essential that motorists are educated about the risks that they pose to themselves and other road users by driving whilst over the legal limit.Use a breathalyser and you will begin to understand your own alcohol limit and therefore know when to avoid driving if you have exceeded the legal limit.Just Blow and You’ll Know! Once the demerit system has been implemented, you can expect things to change drastically with traffic law enforcement.
