NDASA’s 2nd annual “Day on the Hill” on February 4, 2025, was a great success, bringing industry leaders together to advocate for workplace safety and drug and alcohol testing before Congress.
As a leading membership association, NDASA represents the workplace drug and alcohol testing industry, with over 6,000 members serving tens of thousands of employers across the U.S.
Safety is our priority!
NDASA advocates for safe and drug -free workplaces and communities through
legislative advocacy, education, training, and excellence in screening services.
Employee substance abuse costs employers over $246 billion annually in lost
productivity, accidents, injuries, thefts, absences, tardiness, and employee turnover.
Some states are interfering with employer’s rights to test in favor of drug legalization.
We want to see every American citizen afforded the ability to go home safely to their
family at the end of each workday because their employers were allowed to keep them
safe at work.
NDASA is a resource!
NDASA is comprised of experts in workplace safety, drug and alcohol testing policies,
drug and alcohol testing and testing methodologies, toxicology, treatment and recovery,
and much more. NDASA serves as a resource and to provide data and information as
needed when policies or legislation arise that concerns any of these important issues.
Proposed changes to drug policies that call for the restriction of employer/employee
rights to a safe and drug free workplace are a threat to public safety. This includes any
public policy that directly conflicts with the safe and drug free workplace act while
portraying drug testing programs as discriminatory but offer no evidence of ineffective
drug free workplace programs in case studies.
Drug free workplace models, including the US Department of Transportation and the US
Armed Forces, provide considerable data that drug free workplace programs achieve
significant improvements in safety and productivity measures.
Drug free workplace programs educate the workforce about the risks associated with
drug use and aid employees struggling with substance addiction and abuse. It is vital to
educate employers and employees to identify drug use, implement preventative testing
programs, and provide employee assistance programs. Education and treatment
programs achieve higher rehabilitation and employee retentions rates making the
workforce stronger while contributing to health facilities, improving community
infrastructure, and sustaining economic growth.
