Document background
The Alcohol At Work Functions Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating in Nigeria, establishing clear guidelines for managing alcohol consumption at company events and work-related functions. This policy has become increasingly important due to growing corporate liability concerns and the need to balance professional networking with workplace safety and cultural sensitivity. The document addresses compliance with Nigerian federal and state regulations, including labor laws, health and safety requirements, and liquor licensing regulations. It provides comprehensive guidance on event planning, risk management, and incident handling, while respecting the country's diverse religious and cultural practices. Organizations should implement this policy to protect both employer and employee interests, maintain professional standards, and ensure legal compliance while hosting work-related functions where alcohol may be served.
