The FAA must require rehabilitation programs that help identify and treat covered airline employees with alcohol or drug problems, and airlines are encouraged to offer these programs to all workers. The FAA sets the rules for when participation is mandatory. The FAA must also run its own rehab program for its safety-sensitive employees.
(a) Airline employee program. The FAA Administrator must write rules requiring rehabilitation programs that at least identify and offer treatment to airline and foreign airline employees covered under section 45102(a)(1) who need help with an illegal alcohol or drug problem. Airlines are encouraged to offer such a program to all their employees, not just the covered ones. The Administrator decides when employees must participate. Airlines may run such a program jointly with other airlines.
(b) FAA employee program. The Administrator must set up and run a rehabilitation program that at least identifies and offers treatment to FAA employees with safety-sensitive duties who need help with an alcohol or drug problem.
The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall prescribe regulations establishing requirements for rehabilitation programs that at least provide for the identification and opportunity for treatment of employees of air carriers and foreign air carriers referred to in section 45102(a)(1) of this title who need assistance in resolving problems with the use of alcohol or a controlled substance in violation of law or a United States Government regulation. Each air carrier and foreign air carrier is encouraged to make such a program available to all its employees in addition to the employees referred to in section 45102(a)(1). The Administrator shall decide on the circumstances under which employees shall be required to participate in a program. This subsection does not prevent an air carrier or foreign air carrier from establishing a program under this subsection in cooperation with another air carrier or foreign air carrier.
The Administrator shall establish and maintain a rehabilitation program that at least provides for the identification and opportunity for treatment of employees of the Administration whose duties include responsibility for safety-sensitive functions who need assistance in resolving problems with the use of alcohol or a controlled substance.
