Drug use trends in a nuclear power company: cumulative data from an ongoing testing program

This article has traced the evolution of Southern California Edison's San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) from fledgling nuclear facility to one of the largest nuclear power installations in America. Paralleling this growth has been an increasing sophistication and commitment to preserving the public trust through efforts to eliminate substance abuse in the workplace. Southern California Edison's substance abuse program has grown and changed in many ways. The results of this change were presented through data gathered at SONGS. These efforts continue to be directed toward an ultimate goal--the creation of a truly drug-free workplace. Work continues.
