Prevent Worker Drug Use

 

A free, new toolkit by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), contains information on setting up a drug-free workplace program. According to HHS, some 12.3 million American workers use illicit drugs. Drug use can slow worker productivity, increase the number of workplace accidents and the cost of insurance, and hurt employee morale.

 

The toolkit includes an overview of federal, state, and local statutes and regulations regarding drug testing and methods to determine whether alcohol and other drugs are affecting your workplace. For more, go to uschamber.com/goto/drugfree.
