How Baltic Fish Export Integrated Sobriety Prevention into Daily Production Processes
The company faced a serious challenge — some employees were arriving at work intoxicated or consuming alcohol during working hours. Considering the proximity to heavy machinery, forklifts, and motorized equipment, strict control was necessary. The company enforces a zero-alcohol tolerance policy and needed a solution that could maintain it effectively in real working conditions.
The decision to implement Worksober was based on several key advantages:
- Simple and intuitive use, ensuring smooth employee adoption.
- Convenient equipment rental with full technical support and maintenance included.
- Integration of sobriety testing and work time tracking within a single system.
Since 2020, Baltic Fish Export has used two stationary Worksober devices installed at turnstiles leading to production and storage areas. Employees complete a sobriety test every time they enter or leave the work zone. The system is integrated with work time tracking, and any violations are automatically reported to responsible personnel via email in real time.
Systematic testing has eliminated human error and prevented alcohol consumption during working hours. It has also reduced manual oversight — the process runs automatically, allowing managers to focus on their primary responsibilities.
The Worksober solution helped Baltic Fish Export achieve significant improvements:
- A considerable reduction in intoxication cases – such incidents are now extremely rare, and access is automatically denied to anyone failing the test.
- Elimination of the risk of alcohol consumption during work hours.
- Reduced managerial supervision – automatic testing replaced manual monitoring.
- Centralized visibility – all sobriety and time-tracking data are easily accessible and transparent.
- Simplified administration – the system is easy to manage, highly traceable, and requires no additional training.
The Baltic Fish Export case demonstrates that even in demanding environments, characterized by low temperatures, strict hygiene standards, and intensive movement, it is possible to implement a system that strengthens safety while saving time and resources.
“With Worksober, we resolved the issue of employee intoxication at work. We can now ensure a safe working environment for our team. It’s easy to manage data, monitor sobriety, and communicate information to employees.”
