Drug-free Workplace Overview/Description Would you know what to do if you suspected that one of your employees was abusing drugs or alcohol during work hours? Does your company have a program supervisors can follow to effectively handle such problems--one that educates employees about the consequences of substance abuse? Do you think that alcohol and other drug abuse won't be a problem at your organization? In fact, the National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that about 70 percent of illicit drug users are employed, and that substance abusers tend to apply at companies that never administer drug tests. Substance abuse costs businesses millions of dollars each year in lost productivity and increased insurance costs. Creating a drug-free workplace program at your organization will help keep employees healthy and productive. In this course, you'll learn about the Drug-free Workplace Act, the criteria for developing a drug-free workplace program, and the measures that ensure program success.
