There is no evidence that any members of staff' refused to undergo breathalyser testing after the collection officer had been called out.</p><p>The National Offender Management Service does not record information centrally of staff that have been required to leave their place of work because (a) the breath alcohol level of the member of staff has breached the alcohol standard or (b) a member of staff has refused to participate in a breath test and concern remains about whether or not they are fit for duty as set out in the NOMS staff alcohol policy. However, Table 3 shows the number of positive breathalyser test in each of the last three financial years. Staff who provide a positive breathalyser test will be subject locally to the NOMS staff alcohol policy and the NOMS conduct and discipline policy.</p><p><table><thead><tr><td valign="top">Table3<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" /><td valign="top">Numberof positivetests<br /></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">2010-11<br /></td><td valign="top">7<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">2011-12<br /></td><td valign="top">2<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">2012-13<br /></td><td valign="top">1<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p>Although the National Offender Management Service holds high level information centrally on staff who have been subject to disciplinary procedures, it is not possible</p><p>to extract detailed information for disciplinary action taken as a result of a positive breathalyser test or where a member of staff has refused a test.</p> |
