It is the policy of the Federal government to ensure a drug-free workplace. One element of this policy is to offer, as appropriate, prevention and treatment programs and services for substance abuse among Federal employees. A second element is to test for drug use consistent with applicable law and regulation and the rights of the Federal government and Federal employees. Employees in certain sensitive positions may be required to undergo random drug testing. Some occupational categories require applicant testing. Additionally, reasonable suspicion of illegal drug use may require testing of an employee. Employees whose jobs require a commercial drivers liscense are also subject to alcohol testing.
DOT Operating Administrations must have plans for achieving a drug-free workplace. Such plans must include Employee Assistance Programs which provide appropriate prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation programs and services for employees with drug and alcohol abuse problems. They must also provide for supervisory training to assist managers and supervisors in identifying and addressing illegal drug use by their employees.
It is the policy of the Federal government to ensure a drug-free workplace, and to offer, as appropriate, prevention and treatment programs and services for substance abuse among Federal employees.
DOT organizations must establish drug-free Federal workplace programs, including an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) as an essential element in achieving a drug-free workforce. DOT organizations should give employees who have drug and/or alcohol problems an opportunity, as appropriate, to seek rehabilitation, resolve their problems, and become fully productive members of the workforce.
DOT organizations must refer all employees found to be using illegal drugs to the EAP for assessment, counseling, and referral for treatment or rehabilitation, as appropriate. These drug and alcohol abuse programs may be made available to the families of employees and to employees who have family members who are drug or alcohol abusers.
