Drug-Free Workplace Policy Builder Section 6: Will your drug-free workplace policy include searches? The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 DOES NOT require covered employers to perform searches. Also, many states and some cities have legislation prohibiting or limiting searches. Therefore, please seek legal consultation as to the limitations in your location. If searches are to be a part of your program, it will be necessary to set clear guidelines in a separate document and train all supervisory and/or security personnel. If you would like to include searches in your policy, select all those that apply. Entering the organization's property constitutes consent to searches and inspections. If an individual is suspected of violating the drug-free workplace policy, he or she may be asked to submit to a search or inspection at any time.
