According to the Labour Relations Act (LRA) the purpose of giving warnings is to teach employees the employer’s standards of conduct and work performance and to give them a chance to improve.

Driving Responsibly: Alcohol and drug testing should be mandatory for South African eCommerce delivery drivers

Details: Category: News Articles

With the South African eCommerce market projected to experience a remarkable 17.9% increase in 2023, contributing to a global growth rate of 17%, the demand for efficient delivery services has surged to meet this expanding sector. Although 'click and collect' options offer convenience, courier companies are still the preferred method of fulfilling eCommerce orders in South Africa. It would be safe to estimate that there are roughly 50,000 additional drivers (both bike and motor vehicle) transporting deliveries daily across South Africa. Given that such numbers will only keep climbing, taking measures to ensure the sobriety of delivery drivers on the job has become of critical importance. The potential risks faced by logistics and delivery companies in the event of alcohol (or drug) related accidents, which could result in personal injury, loss of goods, and even death, cannot be ignored. One of the most effective steps that a booming industry can take to safeguard its reputation, prioritise road safety, and protect goods in transit is the adoption and implementation of mandatory alcohol and drug testing procedures in its operations.
