Résumé :
This study explored the prevalence and distribution of employee exposure to three dimensions of workplace substance use climate - availability, descriptive norms and injunctive norms. Data were collected from a national probability sample of 2148 U.S. wage and salary workers (957 men; 1191 women) using a random digit dialled telephone survey. Approximately 63.09% of the workforce reported that they could easily bring alcohol into work, use alcohol while working, use alcohol during lunch and other breaks, or obtain alcohol at work. Similarly, 59.05% of the workforce reported that they could easily engage in the same behaviours regarding illicit drugs. During the preceding 12 months, 23.00% of the workforce reported exposure to a co-worker who used or was impaired by alcohol during the workday and 12.65% of the workforce reported exposure to a co-worker who used or was impaired by an illicit drug during the workday. Approximately, 7.03% of the workforce reported exposure to a co-worker who approved of alcohol use or impairment during the workday and 3.55% of the workforce reported exposure to a co-worker who approved of using or being impaired by illicit drugs during the workday. The distribution of exposure to a permissive workplace substance use climate differed by gender, age, occupation and work shift.
