Drug-free workplace - Pennsylvania

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

The federal Drug-Free Workplace Act, which applies only to federal contractors and grantees, requires adoption of Drug-Free Workplace rules to do business with the government. It neither requires nor prohibits drug testing. States are free to adopt whatever regulations they deem appropriate for public or private employers. Where states have drug testing provisions as part of their Drug Free Workplace Acts, drug testing information is included in this section. Where states have separate drug testing provisions that are not part of a Drug Free Workplace Act, these are covered under the section on “Drug Testing.”

Pennsylvania does not have a Drug Free Workplace law.
