BWC’s Substance Use Recovery and Workplace Safety Program (SURWSP)
SURWSP seeks to lessen the impact of substance use disorders on Ohio’s workforce. The program offers reimbursement to employers for workplace substance use-related expenses like drug testing, training for supervisors and employees, and the development and review of workplace safety policies. Employers who enroll in the program also get free access to BWC’s Better You, Better Ohio! workplace wellness program.
The SURWSP is now available statewide. Although BWC is managing the program directly in most counties, in some counties the program is managed on behalf of BWC by the county Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health (ADAMH) board. Program information, marketing materials, and answers to commonly asked questions can be found on the Substance Use Recovery and Workplace Safety Program website.
