Prepared: March 2010
About
The Division of Workplace Programs (DWP) is mandated by Executive Order and
Public Law to provide oversight for: (1) the Federal Drug-Free Workplace
Program aimed at elimination of illicit drug use in the Federal workforce; and (2)
the National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP), which certifies
laboratories to conduct forensic drug testing for the Federal agencies and for
some federally-regulated industries. Additionally, DWP addresses primary
substance abuse prevention through comprehensive drug-free and
health/wellness workplace programs. These programs promote safer, healthier,
and more productive workplaces.  Interventions incorporate a continuum of
scientifically-based components, including substance abuse awareness,
health/wellness, health risk assessments, brief screenings, drug testing, early
identification, intervention, treatment, recovery, and reintegration assisting
employees, families and their communities. DWP is committed with helping
workplaces meet the demands of health care reform along while reducing health
care costs.
