Answer: The process a safety-sensitive employee must complete after testing positive for substances before returning to work, including evaluation and follow-up testing

Which public health strategy involves restricting the availability and accessibility of alcohol to reduce harm at a community level?
Answer: Environmental prevention strategies (e.g., limiting alcohol outlet density, enforcing minimum legal drinking age)
Environmental strategies that restrict alcohol availability — such as reducing the density of liquor stores or strictly enforcing the minimum drinking age — are among the most effective public health tools.
How does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) interact with substance use disorders in the workplace?
Answer: The ADA protects individuals who are in recovery from addiction from discrimination but does not protect those currently illegally using drugs

What is the role of 'social norms marketing' in community substance use prevention?

Social norms marketing corrects the common misperception that 'everyone is doing it,' which research shows reduces substance use when people learn actual peer use rates are lower than assumed.
