Workplace Safety & Health

Drug-Free Workplaces

Employers can protect their businesses from the negative effects of substance abuse in the workplace by developing drug-free workplace programs that educate employees about the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse and encourage individuals with related problems to seek help. The Department of Labor's (DOL) Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace Web site provides employers with free resources and tools to help establish and maintain such programs in order to help protect worker safety and health. However, drug-free workplace programs are not required by any DOL laws or regulations, and DOL does not administer the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.
