Increased incidence of public
impairment
Drug and alcohol test must be an integral component of the hiring
process. Not just for employers who deal with public safety issues, but for regular
employers as well. Drug and alcohol abuse can drastically affect company
productivity and safety. As states begin to redefine what is considered
impairment, employers are only beginning to understand the vastness of workplace
drug and alcohol use.
An increasingly unsafe workplace
- Safety is the chief concern of many companies. Every year, employers face rising costs and decreased productivity related to workers who use drugs and alcohol excessively.
- Where once the focus was on employees who operate machinery under the influence, we are finding that companies pay a high price for substance abusers throughout the system.
- People who excessively use alcohol or drug are about three and a half times more likely to be involved in accidents on the job.
- The same group is more than five times as likely to call in sick or injure themselves at work. This translates into increased cases of worker's compensation claims.
- When it comes to the cost in human lives, substance abusers are responsible for 40 percent of all industrial fatalities.
