What is NASAP? The North American Substance Abuse Program. What is the purpose of the NASAP? To provide a safe and substance-free contractor workforce while protecting employees rights and privacy. The NASAP includes a process for rehabilitation and keeps individuals that test positive from moving between contractor companies without successfully completing an approved rehabilitation program. The NASAP reduces the unnecessary testing redundancy that now exists for many contractors, thereby reducing the overall administrative costs for both owners and contractors. As the number of participating employees increases, pre-employment or pre-access testing will be greatly reduced. Additionally, contractors will have a choice of who administers the NASAP for them. Third-Party Administrators will have to earn the business and perform to keep it. Can I get a copy of the NASAP? Yes. Click on the NASAP link for a FlashPaper of the policy created by the Houston Business Roundtable. Who performs the drug screens? Experienced, highly qualified, independent Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) will manage the NASAP program (notifications, collections, testing, database management, medical reviews, reporting employee statuses, etc.).
What is the role of the Third-Party Administrators (TPAs)? TPAs will administer the NASAP for participating employees of their contractor clients. Administration includes: notification of required tests, specimen collections & testing, database management, medical reviews, referrals to substance abuse professionals for rehabilitation and maintaining status information for employees. Additionally, TPAs train appropriate contractor employees that will be involved in administering the NASAP.
Who are the Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) of the NASAP? What is the role of the Houston Area Safety Council in NASAP? The Houston Area Safety Council maintains the NASAP Database and provides tools for Owners and Contractors to see the status of contractor employees. Additionally, the HASC provides training for employees and supervisors for compliance with section 10.1 and 10.2 of the NASAP Policy. |
