Substance Abuse Program

First developed in 2005, the IMPACT Substance Abuse Program is currently under revision and will transition to a new revised Program over the next several months.

The goal of the IMPACT Program is to ensure ironworkers are drug-free and ready to work, and to make IMPACT member contractors more competitive in our industry.

IMPACTs substance abuse program:

• Creates a national pool of safe, drug-free ironworkers
• Offers a strong random test component
• Allows for instant and laboratory testing
• Encourages and provides training for Reasonable Suspicion
• Accepts Owner Controlled Programs to eliminate repetitive testing
• Provides member rehabilitation
• Allows contractors to incorporate the IMPACT program for contractor employees
• Includes comprehensive contractor training
• Uses a state-of-the-art and secured database to verify a participant's status 24 hours a day
• Saves YOU money and ensures a safe, quality workforce

The IMPACT Program works with pre-qualified third party administrators to manage the overall process of the Program, ensuring testing compliance by state, administering the random selection process, and ensuring a large network of collection sites and collector quality control.
