If employers were really meant to monitor health and safety, then they would have to be allowed to monitor what people did outside of their jobs. Bit pointless having limits on workinghours, if people are doing other jobs, have active hobbies, or going out to the early hours taking all sorts of drinks and drugs.
Something to look forward to.

Certain jobs like train drivers etc you can't drink alcohol the night before work and you'd be found out on random tests. The UK suffers from poor productivity so anything that addresses this issue is a positive in my book.
