OhioBWC - Basics: Drug-Free Safety Program
Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP)
The DFSP offers a premium discount to eligible employers for implementing a
loss-prevention strategy addressing workplace use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs,
including prescription, over-the-counter, and illegal drug abuse within the context of
a holistic safety program. DFSP is designed to more effectively prevent injuries and
illness by integrating drug free into each company’s comprehensive safety management
system. The DFSP replaced BWC’s Drug-Free Workplace Program (DFWP) and Drug-Free EZ
Program (DF-EZ). The initial DFSP program year began July 1, 2010, for private employers.
There is also a Jan. 1 program year for both public and private employers.
