About this document:
Ensure that the person on duty dealing with the situation is equipped to handle it effectively and fairly by printing out or having this form on hand to be completed every time an employee is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol.
The form will act as a guide reminding the manager/supervisor on duty to be aware of the important details and to make a note of them.
The completed document is used in any enquiry that follows the incident (a disciplinary hearing or an incapacity investigation) and can also be used as evidence in a CCMA case.
The form ensures consistency in treatment of employees (this is a legislative requirement) and mitigates the risks of relying on human memory for the details.

Additional information:
The document refers to alcohol testing in the form of breathalyzers. I recommend that you confirm that it is part of your terms and conditions of employment (in your contract of employment) that employees agree to undergo a test to verify their state when it comes to intoxicating substances at work.
If you do not have such a clause in your contract you can make use of my contract clause for under the influence of intoxicating substances at work.
“This document was drafted with consideration of the countless disciplinary hearings and incapacity investigations I have chaired / facilitated for under the influence of alcohol. In my experience such a form mitigates unnecessary disputes, ensures fairness in the form of consistent treatment and contributes to the employment relationship.” –Carmen Fourie
