October 12, 2004
July 10, 2006, addendum
Overview
The Alliance members recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer, drug-free and more healthful American workplaces and protect employees' health and safety. As a result, the organizations formed this Alliance to provide members of the construction industry with information, guidance and access to training resources that will help them understand the benefits of drug-free workplace programs and protect employees' health and safety. The organizations particularly focus on educating workers on safety and productivity hazards created by the abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the workplace.

Training and Education Goal
- Work with OSHA, MSHA and Working Partners to provide expertise to develop training and education programs regarding workplace substance abuse and to provide expertise in communicating such information to the construction industry.
Products
"What Can I Do"
In response to needs identified by Alliance members, Working Partners developed "What Can I Do"— a training module designed to help employees learn when and how to help a co-worker (or family member or friend) who may have a substance abuse problem.
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) – Educational Materials
Through the Alliance, Working Partners assisted MSHA in developing a standard drug-free workplace slide presentation for delivery by MSHA district managers to mine operators titled "A Leadership Challenge for Today's Mine Operators: Keeping America's Mines Alcohol and Drug Free."

DOL-Developed Articles
Through the Drug Free Workplace Alliance, Working Partners developed articles titled, "Tips for Employers on Safe and Sober Office Parties" (December 2005) and "Helping Small Businesses Benefit from Being Drug-Free" (January 2007). A number of the Alliance Program participants have included the articles in their publications and posted the information on their Web sites. For example, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) posted the articles on its Web site in the Tools and Tips section.

NAOSH Week is sponsored by the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), an Alliance Program participant, and the Canadian Society of Safety Engineers (CSSE). Working Partners publicized the event by posting a notice on its Web site and sending an e-mail alert to its more than 8,000 subscribers.

Raise others' awareness of and demonstrate a commitment to drug-free workplaces when Alliance member leaders address groups, as appropriate.
The OSHA and AFS Alliance Implementation Team has not started work on programs or projects to address this goal.
-
Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings to address issues associated with the abuse of alcohol and other drugs to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace.
Events
Building and Construction Trades Department's (BCTD) Committee for Nationwide Drug Programs

Executive Summary
Throughout the reporting period, Alliance activities and products have facilitated the delivery of the drug-free workplace message to many individuals working in or with the construction industry. In addition, participation in the Alliance has helped build trust and cooperation between government, industry and labor.
The Alliance expanded in July 2006 when Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao signed an Alliance addendum with four unions and five construction contractor/owner associations. This development helped increase the number of union members whose work is performed in environments that a) recognize employees have the right to work in an environment free of the hazards of drug abuse; and b) encourage individuals with substance abuse problems to seek help and return to work as productive members of the workforce.
Another key outcome of the Alliance in 2005-2006 was the creation of Drug-Free Work Week. In collaboration with the Drug-Free Workplace Alliance, DOL and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, October 16-22, 2006 was designated as the first annual Drug-Free Work Week. The Alliance participants were instrumental in the conceptualization and implementation of this event and helped distribute Drug-Free Work Week materials to their memberships, including more than 10,000 educational posters and more than 71,000 promotional stickers. In addition, the Alliance participants published articles in their member publications and helped facilitate local-level training and educational activities.
In response to Alliance members identifying the need for more worker-friendly training materials on workplace alcohol and drug abuse prevention, a new employee education curriculum titled "What Can I Do?" was developed. This program aims to empower workers in the construction and mining industries to take positive action if they believe a co-worker may have an alcohol or drug problem.
During the reporting year, Alliance signatories gave numerous speeches and participated in workshops and roundtables during which they highlighted Drug Free Workplace Alliance-related activities and compliance assistance materials developed through the DOL. The groups also distributed outreach resources and publications at a number of events throughout the reporting year. In addition, many of the Alliance participants included drug free workplace program articles in their organizations' on-line and print publications. The Alliance also helped to support the 2006 NAOSH Week.
Finally, in support of 2006 National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, a guide developed by SAMHSA for labor organizations on alcohol and drug use disorders was reviewed by Alliance members to ensure it accurately described union approaches, and two Alliance representatives spoke during a webcast on how organized labor supports the recovery movement.
