What is the Drug-Free Workplace Act?
The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires some Federal contractors and all Federal grantees to agree they will provide drug-free workplaces as a precondition of receiving a contract or grant. All organizations covered are required to take certain steps, such as publishing and providing a drug-free workplace policy statement to all covered employees and establishing a drug-free employee awareness program. There are also notification requirements regarding if an employee is convicted of a criminal drug violation in the workplace. The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 does not require drug testing.
