Drug Free Workplace Presentation

The nominal costs of establishing a drug free workplace program should always be weighed against the high risks of not having a program in place. For many employers, one serious accident, one major financial problem, one breach of confidentiality or one troubled employee can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and even jeopardize a company's financial future.

Yes, but it can be difficult to meet the annual Employee Drug Education and Supervisor Training requirements without assistance. The Council on Alcohol and Drugs makes meeting annual training requirements easy!

If your company is already certified the Council on Alcohol and Drugs will help you maintain compliance and assist your company with its re-certification each year. Your drug free workplace membership helps your company meet all five certification and annual re-certification requirements as required by Georgia law. In addition to meeting the five requirements, below are listed some of the other benefits your company will receive as a member:

• One-year subscription to the English version “Drug-Free @ Workplace” employee training newsletter - this monthly newsletter meets your annual employee education requirement without incurring loss of payroll and productivity while employees stop work to attend training.
• Free Supervisor Training DVD – meets first hour of Supervisor training requirement.
• Access to online Employee Assistance Program (EAP) site along with a CD/ROM of treatment centers in your area - meets EAP and treatment center list requirement.
• Annual reminders to renew your certification - to ensure you don’t lose your state-mandated discount
• Fill-in-the-blanks substance abuse policy - meets all requirements of Georgia law.
• Drug Free Workplace poster, window and door stickers - required by Georgia law.
• Free legal updates on policy changes.
• Suicide prevention education
• Discounted rate for drug or alcohol test kits: urine based tests. Highest quality, most accurate tests available.
• Free legal advice from our drug free workplace attorneys when needed.
• Onsite drug testing kits at a discounted rate.
• Drug free workplace consultation from our drug free workplace experts at no charge.
• Assistance in completing the Application for Certification, along with a step-by-step guide and instruction sheet.

One-year membership including all of the above and the monthly employee newsletter in English for $165. If you wish to add the employee newsletter in Spanish, it is an additional $55. If you wish to add the supervisor newsletter, it is an additional $120.

NO! Many companies with only one employee are certified as a drug free workplace. Having a drug free workplace sends a message to your customers and clients that you provide the highest quality goods, products and services available. And, as your company grows, it will grow drug-free!

Yes. The Council serves drug free workplace member companies of all sizes – from 1 employee up to 18,000 employees.
