During the holidays, the office is often a place where employees
and employers get together to celebrate. Office parties typically
mean lots of music, food and drinks. If the drinks include alcohol,
however, office parties can have very unfortunate consequences.
The Department of Labor’s Working Partners for an Alcohol-
and Drug-Free Workplace program has a special Web page at www.dol.gov/asp/programs/drugs/sp_iss/send.asp
that addresses steps employers can take during the holiday season
and all year round to prevent impaired driving in their communities
and send their employees a safe and sober message about office parties
and drinking.
Working Partners is a Department of Labor initiative that raises
awareness about the impact drugs and alcohol have on the workplace
and helps employers develop drug-free workplace programs. All Working
Partners tools and resources—including information about how
to develop a drug-free workplace policy from start to finish and ready-to-use
training and educational materials—are available online at www.dol.gov/workingpartners.
