FIRST EVER DRUG-FREE WORK WEEK STARTS

Mining and construction reportedly top list of workers who abuse
alcohol and drugs.

Employers will tackle the war on drugs this week.

The first ever Drug-Free Work Week kicks off Monday with a variety of
activities including supervisor training and health screenings.

The U-S Department of Labor says research shows construction and
mining top the list of industries whose workers report the highest
rates of alcohol and drug abuse.

The Labor Department wants workers to know being drug free on the job
improves workplace safety and health.
