Narcotics and Other Drugs in the Workplace

The Minister for Labor and Transmigration has issued a Regulation on the Prevention, Misuse, and Dealing of Narcotics, Psychotropic Drugs, and Other Addictive Substances in the Workplace (Regulation) to assist in combating a growing illicit drugs problem throughout the Indonesia work force.

The Regulation is simplistic in what it requires of employers - a drug policy that is able to be implemented. The policy is to be determined in consultation with all the relevant stakeholders and at the least the employer and the employees of the relevant company or organization. The policy is to be written, non-discriminative, and integrated into the current occupational health and safety programs of the relevant company.
