3. The Sample Collection Practitioners Guide to Using Unconfirmed Toxicology Due Diligence Devices
ISBN 978-1-7397637-3-2. British Library ID 77685. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247
Publications.

The sample collection practitioner guide to using due diligence devices (DDD) and protocols steps away from current industry language within the workplace that has adopted clinical phrases for instant test devices that are unconfirmed toxicology used in the workplace for anything but healthcare. The DDD approach is the due diligence a company applies to its Programme of Testing and Analysis (PoTA) within Corporate Governance, Culpability, Criminal and Civil legislations, Statutory requirements by sector, Insurance obligations, Terms & Conditions of employment, and more. The industry must change its language, sample testing (unconfirmed toxicology) is not the same as sample analysis (confirmed toxicology). Sample Collection Practitioners who have trained in the TOX247 Academy of Workplace Substance Management are left in no doubt as to their role in sample collections using DDDs. (11,016 words and illustrations).

4. The Sample Collection Practitioners Guide to Collecting Back to Laboratory Samples
ISBN 978-17397637-0-1. British Library ID 77687. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247
Publications.

The sample collection practitioners guide to collecting back to laboratory samples directs the SCP role through the need for evidence controls and evidence continuity for wide and narrow window sample submissions to an accredited laboratory. Again, the industry needs to change its approach to the difference between DDD and BTL expectations and how best evidence is used to protect the culpability of its officers and the company reputation. Every sample collection is an investigation as to whether something does or does not exist that requires formal decision making within Corporate Governance. If the SCP gets this process wrong, all evidence is compromised or lost. The SCP must understand their role within the wider Workplace Substance Management Programme (WSMP) and why the next role of Programme Managing Practitioner relies on best evidence when making those formal decisions critical to the company and the donor (14,037 words and illustrations).

5. The Workplace Substance Management Programme, Writing, Building, and Implementing
ISBN 978-17397637-9-4. British Library ID 77688. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247 Publications.

This essential book for all TOX247 practitioners is in support of the SAMP, writing and building book. Together both are critical to understanding TOX247 workplace substance management policies, practices, processes, and procedures, the 4Ps of Corporate Governance. This book is of particular significance to the Programme Managing Practitioner (PMP), Executive Leadership Practitioner (ELP) and Master Practitioner (MP). This book breaks down the four modules of what a TOX247 workplace substance management programme (WSMP) looks like, why it exists, and how to build it. There is a need for this approach to be available in any workplace situation, in any sector, and understood by those who would introduce and manage the WSMP process (26,455 words, tables and templates).

6. The Principles of Managing the WSMP Within Corporate Governance
ISBN 978-17397639-5-6. British Library ID 77681. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247
Publications.

The principles of managing the WSMP within Corporate Governance is vital to decision makers regarding workplace substance management, but especially those in the company who are culpable to CG and the law. The whole subject of workplace substance management globally is not only dysfunctional in some cases but is not integrated into the whole company approach to what is a mandatory need for workplace substance management strategies. In the book the author drives those mandatory needs across the wider WSMP, many of which current industry providers and companies believe are optional. Culpability sits firmly on the shoulders of the officers of a company, they cannot delegate it elsewhere. They need to make sure they have the best support and best trained practitioners in the subject to mitigate how things went wrong. The UK insurance act 2015 places the onus on the right person in the company to make fair presentation of risk to be insured. If you think substance management is not a risk in the workplace you need to read this book (14,614 words and illustrations).

7. The Workplace Substance & Alcohol Management Policy
ISBN 978-1-7397637-4-9. British Library ID 77688. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247
Publications.

The workplace substance and alcohol management policy (SAMP) is where so many companies go wrong. The author is a registered expert witness and retained adviser to the world’s largest insurance underwriter, he has reviewed over 4,000 substance management policies and not found a single policy fit for purpose. This book is for the TOX247 courses students but will be of a great benefit to those unqualified persons charged with writing a substance related policy. There is much to learn about what you do not put in a policy and what should be in it that is defensible. Illegal substances are simply used, there is no misuse in this regard as the illegal nature of the drug is: you should not use it at all. The misuse of legal substances is also a major issue as is the self-referral of either situation. These three issue are the unique TOX247 three categories of Test & Analysis. You must cover these situations and others in any SAMP. The SAMP is only one part of a four-part workplace substance management programme (WSMP), all must set standards that when breached have consequences. (26,519 words, illustrations, and templates).

Publications.

Workplace toxicology and the programme of testing and analysis is book to outline to any reader, but particularly the TOX247 practitioner accreditations, as to why testing is different from analysis. The toxicology of testing and analysis have different evidential values and is required reading for those who are questioning donors around the detection windows of substance use / misuse and why some sample mediums cannot achieve what is expected of them. In the book the author has introduced the very important structure of categories of test and analysis applied in any workplace in any sector. These categories of test and analysis are unique to TOX247 and its academy. They help any person at whatever level in the company easily understand what is a complicated subject.

10. The Programme Managing Practitioner Guide for the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
ISBN 978-17397637-2-5. British Library ID 77683. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247 Publications.

This book sets the standards for any workplace substance management EAP or intervention regarding substance related issues. Too many company’s and service providers think and EAP is a rehabilitation programme it is not. Rehabilitation for a minor issue is certainly manageable / achievable and great side effect of the EAP intervention. For the more serious situations that can be an extremely protracted process, a company must be free to defend how they decided to take affirmative action against any employee. The purpose of this substance management intervention is to ensure the employee meets their legal duty to be fit for work within massive range of workplace circumstances. The company cannot be compromised by the need for it to comply with criminal & civil legislations, insurance obligations. The officers / managers in the company must be able to mitigate or prevent themselves from being culpable in law or subject to aid & abet, counsel, or procure offences being levied against them. Ignorance is no defence in law, the EAP must be structured and provide the ability of the company to make formal decisions within its Corporate Governance, while still showing it is a company with a duty of care that has been duly processed (6,957 words, template documents and processes).

Publications.

The principles of workplace breath alcohol testing is an essential read for any company or any person actively engaged in using or collecting breath alcohol samples in a workplace situation. Too many membership organisations and sectors use the wrong approach and apply the wrong processes to managing alcohol use / misuse in the workplace. For all TOX247 practitioner roles this book identifies the limitations of what is an unconfirmed toxicology sample result and the need for a robust workplace substance & alcohol management policy (SAMP). Many countries and sectors have differing maximum alcohol cut offs, the management of the result and formal decision making must be right, be consistently and fairly applied to every donor. (13,272 words and illustrations).

13. A Guide to Managing Workplace Substance Investigations
ISBN 978-1-7396015-1-5. British Library ID 77678. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247
Publications.

This book provides guidance to workplace substance management investigations. While each sample collection for testing or analysis is the start of an investigation, it is not always the end of it. Criminal interviewing, evidence gathering, preservation and presentation of evidence is a skill usually acquired after a basic training protocol. Success from investigating comes after years of experience and application of those skills. There are set polices, practices, processes, and procedures to follow in any investigation or project, this book provides the basic information for practitioners to build upon in their own profession or sectors. In this case the subject area is workplace substance management (13,019 words, template documents and processes).

14. A TOX247 Guide to Substance Management at Sea
ISBN 978-1-7396015-0-8. British Library ID 77679. Author Trevor Hall. TOX247
Publications.

This book is specific to the maritime industry, it is the first in a series of books by the author who is also writing guidance for the Aviation, Logistics, and Railway sectors. The Maritime sector has specific and unresolved issues for substance management at sea. Membership and even regulatory bodies are providing woolly guidelines and then leaving shipping lines to set standards, not currently being met. Managing substances ashore is not the same as at sea, crew in rotation are not properly managed in this subject before they board vessels, often bringing unresolved hidden threats and high-risk employees into a high-risk environment. At TOX247 we address this issue by providing specific direction through proven policies, practices, processes, and procedures. This book is not the complete answer to workplace substance management in the maritime sector alone. It must be read in conjunction with all TOX247 Academy publications and courses (16,454 words, illustrations, and templates).

The degrees by which they become involved and why the employer must establish a wide range of countermeasures to manage employees, the employment pool, contractors and third parties within a growing list of legal necessities. The complicated global problems vary regarding illegal substance use and legal substance misuse. The author has introduced new unambiguous language to help practitioners of workplace substance management better understand what they are likely to be confronted with, who is culpable (blameworthy) and who is responsible (accountable), including the duties of an employee to be legally fit for work.
