What is DFWP?

A DFWP  is a drug testing program which all contractors and subcontractors working in DFWP member facilities agree to adopt as a minimum standard and require their employees/workers and agents to comply with its provisions.

Who is required to participate?

All contractors and subcontractors working on participating owner's sites who require compliance with the DFWP substance abuse testing program.

Why should you participate in a DFWP?

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 Indiana is no different. Estimates of the cost of substance use to employers vary, ranging from $7,000 to $25,000 annually per substance user.

The greatest value of this program is in its long-range benefits, rather than the discount itself. Implementing the DFWP is truly a good business decision for any employer

Who benefits from DFWP?

Employers who implement the DFWP provide greater protection for all employees. Consider these benefits.

• Increased productivity
• Fewer accidents
• Decreased severity of accidents
• Reduction in use of workers' compensation medical benefits by substance users
• Decrease in theft
• Protecting the bottom line
