Mississippi Drug-Free Workplace

Mississippi has a voluntary drug testing law that allows employers to qualify for a 5% discount on their workers' compensation insurance premiums. To be eligible for this discount, employers must comply with specific statutes, including Mississippi Code 71-3-201 et al., Mississippi Code 71-7-1 et al., and Mississippi Administrative Code 15-3-1-53 et al. Employers are required to show proof of certification to their insurer annually to maintain the discount.

The program involves several key steps for employers to become certified as a Drug-Free Workplace in Mississippi. These include establishing a substance abuse policy that complies with Mississippi law, conducting supervisor and employee training, implementing drug testing, and providing an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or a resource file with information on treatment and counseling centers. The Council on Alcohol and Drugs offers resources and assistance to organizations seeking certification, including policy templates, training materials, and guidance on completing the certification application.

It's important for employers to understand the specifics of the law and to ensure that their drug testing policies and procedures are in compliance. This includes ensuring the confidentiality of test results and covering the costs associated with drug testing required by the employer.
