One hundred eighty-one responses were received from firms in the manufacturing, health care, finance, service, insurance, transportation, and retailing industries. Most of the firms indicated a work force from 101 to 5,000. Thirty percent of the respondent firms were unionized, while over 50 percent had Federal contracts. Eighty-one percent of the respondents have published a drug policy statement, but only 90 percent have provided the employees with a copy. A number of employers required that the employees sign a policy statement that they received and read it. Some employers in addition to disciplining employees for policy violations attempt to rehabilitate drug-using employees through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), counseling, and hospitalization. Out of 181 respondents, 102 (56.4 percent) indicated implementation of drug awareness programs for their employees such as brochures, training sessions, meetings, staff or supervisory meetings, and counseling. Only 42 percent of respondents informed employees that they should report workplace drug convictions to them. The employers felt that the law would be strengthened by mandatory drug testing, whereas a few felt that the act should be repealed. 3 tables and 9 notes
