This week is National Drug-Free Work Week, sponsored by the Department of Labor and implemented collaboratively with members of its Drug-Free Workplace Alliance (which includes the UA) and several other organizations, including government agencies, nonprofit associations and private companies.

The purpose of Drug-Free Work Week is to highlight the fact that being drug free is key to protecting workplace safety and health and to encourage workers with alcohol and drug problems to seek help. The DOL encourages employers and workers nationwide to participate.
