The Building Trades Group (BTG) Drug & Alcohol Safety and Rehabilitation Program (the Program) is a work place drug and alcohol safety and education program run by the Drug and Alcohol Committee of the Building Trades Group of Unions in NSW, and similar bodies in other states of Australia.  
The Program promotes awareness and workplace safety through drug and alcohol education as well as linking workers with problems to appropriate treatment services.

The BTG Drug & Alcohol Committee was formed in Sydney in 1989, out of meetings of workers and union officials. They were concerned that the abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the building industry was not being confronted, and was leading to accidents and an unsafe workplace. The Committee met regularly with rank and file building workers on construction sites and after much discussion, drafting and redrafting, a program and workplace policy for the building and construction industry was developed. The Program policy was taken to mass meetings of workers where it was endorsed unanimously and then to the BTG where it was endorsed and became Building Trades Group Policy.
