A commitment to the creation of safe and healthy workplace should be the goal of every employer, regardless of the size of the company. The employees’ use of intoxicants, psychotropic substances and drugs for purposes other than medical may have a negative impact on work safety, and thus constitute a broadly understood threat for both the employee and the company. Threatened by employee addiction and a decrease in the quality of their life and work efficiency, the question about the effectiveness of social prevention treatment in the workplace is crucial. Clearly defined goals, preventive actions tailored to the needs of recipients and collateral activities including promotional ones, are important elements that should be taken into account when building an internal policy of limiting the consumption of psychoactive substances by employees. The purpose of this article is to present contemporary prevention strategies of psychoactive substance use in the workplace. According to the scientific knowledge (empirical evidence), these strategies are characterized by their high effectiveness. To this end, the available literature was analyzed.
