Abstract:

Several examples of catastrophic accidents involving the use of alcohol or drugs are used to draw attention to the very real problem employers face each day in deciding how to detect the impaired operator performing safety-sensitive functions and how to best create a workplace free from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse. In this paper, these topics are examined from the perspective of looking at research needs for the next decade based on an assessment of the current state of knowledge. Topics covered include both chemical and non-chemical based methods of detection and deterrence. In addition, the paper examines other complementary research needs which may contribute directly or indirectly to these goals.
