Abstract:This report presents and discusses the results of Project REAP (Railroad Employee Assistance Project), an in-depth study of the size of the alcohol abuse problem in the railroad industry, the effects of the problem on companies and employees, and the effectiveness of methods currently used to combat the problem. The study was funded by the Federal Railroad Administration and monitored for technical quality by the Transportation Systems Center. Seven major railroads and their labor organizations participated in the study. The data on which the findings and recommendations are based came from 240 key management and labor personnel who gave personal interviews, 6,300 randomly selected employees, who completed mailed questionnaires (approximate response rate of 70 percent), and interviews of staff members at the employee assistance programs of each carrier. The seven studied railroads employ 234,000 workers, about half of the work force in the country's entire industry.
