About

The Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAOD) serves under the National Safety Council's Highway Traffic Section.

The Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs, first known as the Committee on Tests for Intoxication, was established in the National Safety Council in 1936. From that time, the Committee has been active in making recommendations for the control of the drinking-driving problem, including legislation, enforcement, education, chemical testing equipment, training of testing personnel, and other aspects of alcohol countermeasures programs. Its role had been limited to developing recommendations and standards, but its members have been active in assisting in many aspects of programs designed to reduce the drinking-driving problem. In fact, many of the members, past and present, have been directly involved as officials in programs. Learn More...
