Program and policy
Define who is covered, when testing applies, who makes decisions, and how employees are notified.
Plan the policy →Florida employer guide
Set up a drug-free workplace program that works.
Start with a written policy and a clear process. Add supervisor training, employee education, testing logistics, and records your team can maintain.
What employers usually need
Train people
Give supervisors practical instruction and employees a plain explanation of the program.
Explore training →Testing operations
Coordinate collection sites, laboratory services, medical review, and reporting with authorized recipients.
Explore testing →Florida rules and certification
Florida’s drug-free workplace program under section 440.102 is voluntary. A qualifying, carrier-certified program may be eligible for a 5% workers’ compensation premium credit.
Your carrier decides certification and credit eligibility. This site does not promise a discount or replace legal review.
Three starting decisions
- Is this a state drug-free workplace program, a DOT-regulated program, or both?
- Who owns the policy and speaks for the employer?
- Which training, testing, and recordkeeping steps are missing today?
Common questions
Does buying drug tests certify my workplace?
No. A testing order is one part of a program. Review the Florida requirements and confirm certification or insurance eligibility with the proper authority and carrier.
Can the same policy cover DOT and non-DOT tests?
Keep DOT testing procedures distinct from non-DOT testing. The DOT rules and the relevant DOT agency govern regulated tests.
Who provides training and who handles testing?
Leadership 9-1-1 handles employer training. Lab Testing Solutions coordinates collections, laboratories, and medical review services where needed.
