The war on drugs has been raging for many years and everyone plays a part in eradicating illegal substances from not only our communities, but our workplaces as well. The Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 mandates that some federal contractors and all federal grantees agree to provide drug-free workplaces before receiving a contract or grant from a federal agency. Specific requirements of the Act vary depending upon whether the contractor or grantee is an individual or organization. Organizations must take more comprehensive steps to maintain a drug-free workplace. This can be done with the help of federal labor law posters displayed where both job applicants and employees can see that drug use will not be tolerated.
The U.S. Department of Labor offers companies an online web advisor as a guide to building a customized drug-free workplace policy statement. A workplace policy is the foundation of a drug-free work program, but should not replace a workplace compliance poster in addition to a comprehensive drug free workplace program.
For almost 25 years, Compliance Poster Company has been committed to helping you identify areas of non-compliance and working with you to develop strategies to make it easier for you to comply.
