Organize Safe Company Parties with AMA Prevention

As the holiday season approaches, companies often organize festive events to strengthen team cohesion. However, drinking alcohol during these occasions can create risks for the health and safety of employees, both in the workplace and on the road. It is therefore essential to put in place effective prevention measures to ensure everyone's safety.

Risks Associated with Alcohol Consumption in the Workplace

Alcohol can impair cognitive and motor skills, leading to decreased alertness, increased risk-taking and decreased reflexes. These effects increase the risk of workplace and road accidents. For example, driving under the influence of alcohol increases the risk of being responsible for a fatal accident by 17.8 times.

Legal Framework and Employer Responsibilities

According to Article R. 4228-20 of the French Labor Code, only fermented beverages such as wine, beer, cider and perry are authorized in the workplace. If the consumption of alcohol is likely to harm the safety and health of workers, the employer must take appropriate measures, which may include banning alcohol via internal regulations or a service note.

Recommended Preventive Measures

To limit risks during corporate events, it is advisable to:

• Raise awareness among employees about the dangers of alcohol and the associated risks.
• Serve only alcoholic beverages authorized by law.
• Limit the quantities of alcohol served , while respecting health recommendations.
• Offer attractive non-alcoholic alternatives .
• Offer food to help ease the absorption of alcohol.
