The aim was to raise awareness and increase knowledge of workers about the safe use of alcohol and also inform employers on ways to promote the safe use of alcohol, and adopt or improve relevant policies in the workplace. Moreover, strong emphasis was placed on cultivating a healthy living culture in the workplace.
