What amount of business triggers the federal Drug Free Workplace Act compliance requirements for contractors?

The federal Drug-Free Workplace Act requires compliance for contractors who are awarded contracts of $100,000 or more. This law aims to ensure that federal contractors provide drug-free workplaces as a condition of receiving federal funding.

The significance of the $100,000 threshold is tied to the Act's broader objective of promoting a safe and productive work environment by minimizing the potential risks associated with drug abuse. Contractors must certify that they will provide a drug-free workplace and comply with certain requirements, such as implementing a drug-free policy and conducting drug-free awareness programs. When federal contracts meet or exceed the specified amount, the requirements of the Act take effect, reinforcing the government's commitment to maintaining workplace integrity and safety in federal contracting.
