The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) and the maritime industry in general recognise the risks and potentially serious impacts associated with the use of drugs and alcohol.
For the purpose of these guidelines, drug and alcohol use includes:
The use of prescribed and over-the-counter medication.
Self-medication.
Recreational drug or alcohol use.
Drug or alcohol dependency.
Accidental exposure to drugs or alcohol.
Drugs in this context includes all chemical substances that can impair cognitive function, such as attention, focus, and decision making.
Drug and alcohol use can put the safety of maritime operations at risk. There can also be legal requirements and consequences in relation to drugs and alcohol in the maritime industry.
The reasons for substance use can be complex. OCIMF emphasises the need to adopt a clear drug and alcohol policy, which includes preventive and supportive measures as well as a testing programme and disciplinary measures. Creating an environment where individuals feel supported and able to ask for help is an essential aspect to managing this risk.
