As a worker in the rail industry I am involved in producing and enforcing D&A policies.

These are the key features that you should look to include.

Is it universal or limited to certain trades or professions such as vehicle drivers?

Managements role in ensuring that all affected staff are informed of it

Key messages that employees must not report for duty under the influence of drink or drugs, be in possession of,or consume whilst on duty.

The need to report any drugs or over the counter medicines that you are using

Limits on the amount of alcohol that may be found in an employees breath, urine or blood.

Any drugs that you must not have in your body under any circumstances.

Is there going to be any routine or unannounced testing of employees as opposed to 'for cause'.

Likely disciplinary sanctions to be enforced if any of the above is breached.

That covers the flavour of it so to get some examples you could use the links on the Railway Specialist Group pages to contact committee members who may provide some.
