Program Overview and Information

The Drug-Free Workplace Program (DFWP) is a voluntary BWC incentive program to help employers establish a safer and more cost-effective workplace. By implementing this program, an employer can address workplace use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs, including prescription, over-the-counter, and illegal drug abuse, and take appropriate corrective action.

In order to meet your company's needs, the BWC has developed two types of Drug Free Workplace Programs. DFWP is geared toward employers with more than 25 FTEs (full-time equivalents), and DF-EZ for employers with 25 or fewer FTEs. Although the requirements are different depending on the size of your company, both programs offer great benefits.

Drug-Free Workplace Services
There are five basic components of an effective Drug-Free Workplace Program:

• Written Substance Policy
• Employee Education
• Supervisor Training
• Drug and Alcohol Testing
• Employee Assistance

Policy Development & Program Oversight
Written policies are developed by a Human Resources professional specializing in drug and alcohol testing. We work with you to customize the policy to meet your company's individual needs. Updates and reviews are provided to keep your policy effective and current. Clients who elect this service will be provided with progress reporting assistance, technical support, employee assistance guidance, grant assistance, program consultation/oversight and support.

Employee Education
Educating employees about drugs and alcohol and raising awareness among your workforce are key ingredients to a successful and effective program. CompManagement Risk Services provides several convenient options to efficiently empower your workforce. A qualified and professional staff of trainers is available to conduct on-site education sessions. Train-the-Trainer, online, and audio cassette/cd educational services are also available.

Supervisor Training
It is important to provide your supervisors with not only the information but the supervisory skills required to implement your Drug-Free Workplace Program effectively. An understanding of their role and responsibilities will ensure appropriate action is taken in the event an issue presents itself. CompManagement Risk Services provides knowledgeable and qualified trainers to deliver personal on-site training sessions. We also offer a variety of supervisory training programs online as an alternative.

Drug and Alcohol Testing
The CompManagement Risk Services testing network is managed by industry leaders who provide a flexible network of drug and alcohol collection sites, on-site collection services, random program management, Medical Review Officer services (MRO), and various methods of reporting results including internet-based reporting.
