To develop a company policy, consider
anyone who will be affected. Involve
employees from all levels. Working
together will build support for the policy
you will develop.
Supervisors need to know how to look for signs of
substance abuse and what to do once they find them.
To do their jobs properly, a supervisory training program
on these topics is helpful:
 Information on specific drugs,
causes and effects
 Methods of detecting
drug and alcohol use
 Prevention and education
strategies
 Background on drug
testing issues
 Employee assistance program
Your employees must
understand and remain aware
of your ongoing commitment
to a drug free workplace.

Whenever new workers

are hired or being considered
for employment, they need to
learn about the program.
To help your employees deal with their problems, you may set up an
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which can help employees:

 Identify problems;

 Help resolve their problems through confidential short-

term counseling;

 Referrals; and

 Follow-up services.
You need to make a number of decisions about how your
program will be set up and operated. The list of questions
below will help you get started:
 Who will you test? (Only applicants? All employees?)
 When will you test? (On random basis? As part of a physical examination?)

 For what drugs will you test? (Only for

“Marijuana” and “Shabu”? For all illegal
drugs? For alcohol? For prescription drugs
which may affect work performance?)

 How frequently will you test? (Monthly? Once a

year?)
