FOR EMPLOYERS

Many employers require drug testing as part of their pre-employment assessment process, and may include periodic random drug testing and for-cause and post-accident drug and alcohol testing as part of their company’s workplace substance abuse polices.

Drug and alcohol use by employees result in:

• Risk, safety and liability issues
• Loss of production
• Higher absenteeism and consistent tardiness
• Increased worker’s compensation costs and claims
• Increased incidences of theft, embezzlement and other crime
• Higher employee turnover
• Employee behavior issues that affect a company’s morale, culture and image.
