Chapter 4. POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATION The FTA regulation requires that every covered employer including direct recipients, sub-recipients, and safetysensitive contractors that have safetysensitive employees develop a compliant policy on prohibited drug use and alcohol misuse in the workplace. The rule also requires that the policy statement be written and made available to every safety-sensitive employee. You should use this chapter as a checklist of the items that should be included in your policy. Only an employer can establish a policy for its employees. Therefore, contractor employees should not be placed under an agency’s policy. The agency, however, can dictate through its contract, the minimum requirements of the contractor’s policy and can require approval authority. Agencies that contract out their safety-sensitive functions and have no safety-sensitive employees are not required to have a policy statement. Section 1. REQUIRED POLICY STATEMENT The employer’s Drug and Alcohol Program Manager (DAPM) should guide the development of the initial draft and any subsequent revisions. Depending on the structure of the agency, the DAPM may wish to solicit input from employees, labor organizations, other management personnel, and service agents as described on page 2-1 of the Best Practices manual. FTA suggests that an employer’s policy statement incorporate its position and information on all major aspects of its drug and alcohol program. Part 655 specifies the minimum requirements that must be included to be considered compliant. FTA acknowledges that policy statements are written for many various target audiences, including employees, unions, the legal system, etc. Therefore, Chapter 4.
