Workplace Helpline Call Record Form (OMB NO. 0930-0232)-Revision
Workplace Helpline is a toll-free, telephone consulting service which provides information, guidance and assistance to employers, community-based prevention organizations and labor offices on how to deal with alcohol and drug abuse problems in the workplace. The Helpline was required by Presidential Executive Order 12564 and has been operating since 1987. It is located in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), where it is managed out of the Division of Workplace Programs.
Callers access the Helpline service through one of its Workplace Prevention Specialists (WPS) who may spend from several to up to 30 minutes with a caller, providing guidance on how to develop a comprehensive workplace prevention program (written policy, employee assistance program services, employee education, supervisor training, and drug testing) or components thereof.
When a call is received, the WPS uses a Call Record Form to record information about the call, including the name of the company or organization, the address, phone number, and the number of employees. Each caller is advised that their responses are completely voluntary, and that full and complete consultation will be provided by the WPS whether or not the caller agrees to answer any question. To determine if the caller is representing an employer or other organization that is seeking assistance in dealing with substance abuse in the workplace, each caller is asked for his/her position in the company/organization and the basis for the call. In the course of the call, the WPS will try to identify the following information: basis or reason for the call ( i.e. , crisis, compliance with State or Federal requirements, or just wants to implement a prevention program or initiative); nature of assistance requested; number of employees and whether the business has multiple locations; and the industry represented by the caller ( e.g. , mining, construction, etc.). Finally, a note is made on the Call Record Form about what specific type(s) of technical assistance was given.
Below is the annual burden for the Helpline Call Record Form.
| Form | Number of respondents | Responses/ respondent | Burden/response (hrs.) | Total burden (hrs.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Call Record Form | 3,120 | 1 | .250 | 780 |
