The
Division of Workplace Programs (DWP), part of the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention,
manages the Federal government’s drug-free workplace
program, which includes drug testing for certain
employees. As part of this, DWP also oversees the
National Laboratory Certification Program, which
certifies laboratories to conduct forensic drug testing
for Federal agencies and organizations in certain
industries required to conduct drug testing under
Federal law.
Although not
required to do so, many non-government, non-regulated employers
choose to follow the Federal government’s drug-free workplace
model. As such, DWP also serves as a resource for employers in
implementing their own drug-free workplace programs, particularly
related to drug-testing processes and technologies. It does this in
a variety of ways:
-
The Drug-Free Workplace Helpline (1-800-WORKPLACE
(800-967-5752) or
helpline@samhsa.hhs.gov, which provides one-on-one
assistance.
-
The
Division of Workplace Programs
, which provides a variety of resources and
information regarding drug-free workplace programs, drug-testing
processes and procedures, and workplace health, wellness and
safety strategies. A key part of this Web site is an online
Welcome to the Drug-Free Workplace Kit!
for employers.
-
The
GetFit Web site, which offers employers a free way to
provide workers and their families with confidential access to
credible information about physical and mental health and
alcohol and drug use.
DWP also administers a grant program focused on prevention and early
intervention with young adults in the workplace and oversees a
number of model workplace-based programs designed to identify and
promote best practices in workplace health and wellness.
