When planning your drug-free workplace program, you may want to consult one or more of the following:
- Local employers in similar industries may be exploring the same issues. Contact them to find out what they
have done and if they are willing to share information.
- Local drug-free workplace coalitions may be found through your local chamber of commerce and/or state
department of alcohol and drugs. These organizations may provide educational materials and other important resources.
- Trade and professional associations also may have addressed the issue of drug-free workplaces and may know about
special considerations for your particular industry.
- Liability and insurance carriers are very interested in decreasing the impact of alcohol and other drugs and
thus may have prevention programs or incentives in place.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) vendors and local drug- and alcohol-treatment providers deal with the
issue of alcohol and drug use every day. To locate them, consult a local telephone directory.
A number of national and
state substance abuse prevention organizations may also provide assistance in learning
about workplace substance abuse issues and developing drug-free workplace programs.
