Held annually in October, Drug-Free Work Week is a public awareness campaign intended to highlight
the fact that being drug free is key to protecting workplace safety and health and to encourage workers with alcohol and drug problems to seek help.
Drug-Free Work Week is sponsored by DOL and implemented collaboratively with members of its Drug-Free Workplace Alliance
and several other organizations, including government agencies, non-profit associations and private companies.
Individual Employers and their Employees
The true spirit of Drug-Free Work Week lies in activities conducted by individual employers and their employees.
For specific suggestions for how organizations of all sizes and in all industries can take part, see the link below.
Ideas range from simple to comprehensive, but all help promote safer, healthier workplaces and represent wise business
practices that can be implemented at any time of the year. Although Drug-Free Work Week is a dedicated time each year
to place special emphasis on the importance of working drug free, in a safe and healthy workplace, every week is
Drug-Free Work Week.
Business, Trade and Professional Associations
By publicizing it among their members, business, trade and professional associations also play an important role in
the success of Drug-Free Work Week. For suggestions on how such organizations can lend their support, see the link below.
