The Owners and participating Companies of the U.S. Virgin Islands Drug Free Workplace Alliance (USVI-DFWPA) are committed to providing a safe work place for those working within the U.S. Virgin Islands. A workplace unencumbered by the influences of illegal/controlled drugs and alcohol is necessary to assure this goal. Cooperative effort is needed to overcome the adverse impact of substance abuse on workplace safety, productivity, and quality of work. As a result of that effort, Pinnacle Services, LLC has developed the U.S.Virgin Islands Drug Free Workplace Alliance (USVI-DFWPA). The USVI-DFWPA establishes a single minimum testing standard to be utilized to conduct testing for illegal/controlled drugs, substances and alcohol on participating-member job sites.
The mark of a successful drug-free workplace program also depends on how well employees are informed of the hazards of drug use. Equally important is the assurance to employees that personal dignity and privacy will be respected in reaching the goal of a drug-free workplace. Therefore, this plan includes policies and procedures for: (1) employee assistance; (2) supervisory training; (3) employee education; and (4) identification of illegal/controlled drug use through drug testing on a carefully controlled and monitored basis.
