A Brown rejuvenates and strengthens its ‘Drug-free Workplace’ Program
ABCI rejuvenates and strengthens its advocacy program that promotes a drug-free workplace in A Brown’s offices, warehouses, and project sites.
A huge crowd of four-hundred eighty (480) employees from A Brown Company, Inc. and its subsidiary ABERDI including construction workers and security guards of the company’s service providers -Service Partners Inc. (SPI) and Envisage Security Agency Inc (ESAI) – gathered last October 20, 2022, in XSCC Covered Courts, Xavier Estates, CDO for the Anti- Drug Education and Awareness Seminar, with Resource Speaker from PDEA Region X.
Among the topics discussed were: the current drug situation and salient features of Republic Act 9165, or The Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002; and drug abuse awareness and prevention inside the workplace including the ill-effects of dangerous drugs, and enforcement of random drug tests for officers and employees.
The Drug-Free Workplace Program is continuing advocacy. This aims for full management support of the company including its business partners i.e., Manpower agency and security agencies, through the strict enforcement of drug-free workplace policies. On top of the anti-drug education and training, the program also covers provisions for Mandatory Drug Tests, Employee Assistance for Referral, Rehabilitation & Treatment.
