Employee Awareness
Employees subject to substance abuse testing in the workplace need to have a clear understanding of the drug and alcohol testing process they are subjected to. Since most employees are not very likely to pick up your company’s drug free workplace policy and read it front to back they end up “learning” the basics from other employees who also have not read the policy, or worse, have a complete misunderstanding of it. Employees need to have a clear understanding about what behavior is prohibited under the DOT regulations, why they cannot simply refuse to test, and what the consequences might be if they test positive or refuse.
