The Alcohol At Work Functions Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in South Africa, where work-related social functions often include alcohol service. This policy becomes necessary due to the increasing focus on workplace safety, duty of care obligations, and the need to manage potential risks associated with alcohol consumption at corporate events. It addresses requirements under various South African laws, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Labour Relations Act, while providing practical guidelines for event organization, risk management, and incident handling. The document is essential for maintaining professional standards, ensuring legal compliance, and protecting both employer and employee interests during work-related social functions.
