Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the drug-free workplace program implemented in the City Government of Valenzuela under Republic Act 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. By examining employee awareness of unlawful acts, drug testing protocols, and the overall framework of the National Drug-Free Workplace Program, the research identifies key factors contributing to the program’s successes and limitations. Results indicate moderate awareness of RA 9165 provisions, a high understanding of mandatory and random drug testing protocols, and an average satisfaction level with implementing preventive education activities and employee assistance programs (EAPs). Challenges include limited participation in educational initiatives, insufficient communication of program benefits, and inadequate awareness of support mechanisms for rehabilitation.
