Drug Free Safety Program

Ohio’s Drug-Free Safety Program helps employers more effectively prevent on-the-job injuries and illness by integrating drug-free efforts into their overall workplace safety program. The DFSP can help employers achieve both long-range safety and cost-saving benefits. Participants will learn about Policy Development, Education and Training, Supervisor Training and Employee Education

The Drug-Free Safety Program saves lives, is cost effective and will help employers assist and retain valuable employees.  Benefits to business owners include:

• On average, each substance abusing employee costs the employer $7,000.00 annually
• Substance abusers are 33% to 50% less productive than non-abusers
• Abusers are 3.6 times more likely to have an accident on the job
• Substance abusers are 5 times more likely to file a workers’ compensation claim
