Community initiative to be formed
In an effort to address the safety and economic threat of drug abuse in the workplace, Logan County is one of 18 Ohio communities participating in the Working Partners Drug-Free Workforce Community Initiative.
This statewide initiative is a public-private partnership, funded in part by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
The initiative’s objectives are to increase an employable, drug-free workforce in Ohio; build healthier, more productive and economically sound workplaces; and to create systems to educate employees to prevent drug use among that population now and in the future.
To achieve these objectives, the initiative’s program will bring together local stakeholders and businesses. It will support local employment strategies related to drug-free workplaces, assess specific community needs and develop local action plans to develop strong local drug-free workforces by employing a variety of best practices that meet these needs.
