You can join hundreds of other Ohio employers by choosing to keep your employees safe and reduce the chance of an accident caused by substance use. The voluntary DFWP program encourages employers to detect and deter substance use and misuse, and take appropriate corrective action. The courts and the public are holding American employers responsible for the behavior of their substance-using employees. Not only does alcohol and other drug use affect profitability of companies, it also affects the health, safety and productivity of workers.
Substance use is often the silent and unseen cause of work-related accidents.
Unfortunately, employers and their employees don't realize it until it's too late. Statistics from national studies show how costly substance use is within the workplace, and Ohio is no different. The greatest value of this program is in its long-range benefits, rather than the discount itself. Implementing the DFWP program is truly a good business decision for any employer. Only state-fund employers may receive a discount.
