Drinking and driving campaigns

Drinking and driving remains the number 1 contributing factor in fatal collisions in Kenya. We are continuously working on solutions to help resolve this important traffic safety issue.

Drinking and drug use, even if they occur outside working hours, can have a huge impact in the workplace. This is especially true for people who drive as part of their jobs.

Almost 42% of Kenyans in full-time employment are drinkers. So it’s likely that in any organisation, regardless of size, there will be individuals experiencing problem drinking and drug use.

Tackling alcohol and drugs at work

Dealing with problem alcohol and drug use is a daunting and often complex process. The first step is to develop a robust alcohol and drug workplace policy in consultation with your staff, covering things like:

• Drinking and drug use at work
• Workplace discipline
• Help for those with alcohol- and drug-related problems
• Alcohol and drug education
• Training with supporting resources.

The policy should be part of an overall occupational health and safety strategy and should focus on prevention, education, counselling and rehabilitation.

Don't let impaired friends drive

Here are some ways you can make sure your friends and family get home safely:

• Offer to call them a cab, a friend/relative, or safe ride service.
• Take away their keys.
• Host the event at your place and let them stay the night.
• Arrange a safe ride before you all go out together – plan to leave the vehicle at home and get a safe ride to your destination. That way there's less temptation to drive if judgment is impaired by alcohol later.
• Offer to be a designated driver (and next time, it's your friend's turn to be a good pal).
