Drug-Free Workplace Act

The Drug-Free Workplace Act is a federal law aimed at promoting a safe and healthy work environment by prohibiting the use of illegal drugs in the workplace. It requires certain employers, particularly those receiving federal contracts or grants, to implement policies that prevent drug abuse. Employers must inform employees about the dangers of drug use, establish procedures for maintaining a drug-free workplace, and outline the consequences for violating these policies. The goal is to reduce drug-related issues at work, ensuring a more productive and secure environment for all employees.
