Drug-Free Workplace
Studies reveal that the 8.1 million employees who abuse drugs
have a tremendously harmful effect on the workplace—they are
more likely to have extended absences from work, show up late,
be involved in workplace accidents, and file workers’
compensation claims.
More and more employers have established substance abuse
programs to respond to the problems created by drugs and alcohol
in the workplace. These programs save money, and in some cases,
they save careers, families and lives.
In an effort to raise awareness about the impact of substance
abuse in the workplace, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
implemented Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free
Workplace. This educational program helps employers develop and
maintain an alcohol- and drug-free workplace.
