The dangers and costs that alcohol and other chemical abuses can create in the electrical construction industry in terms of safety and productivity are significant. To address the problems caused by drug and alcohol abuse, Local 176 and the Eastern Illinois Chapter of NECA have formed an Electrical Industry Drug Free Alliance. ScreenSafe, Inc., an Illinois corporation, will administer those programs established by the Alliance. It is the Alliance’s purpose to provide a vehicle to help establish and maintain a workplace free of the destructive effects caused by the use of drugs and alcohol.
