Drug Screening

How Vulnerable Is Your Business?

Consider these statistics from the US Department of Labor:

  • An estimated 3.1 percent of employed adults actually used illicit drugs before reporting to work or during work hours at least once in the past year, with about 2.9 percent working while under the influence of an illicit drug.
  • An estimated 1.8 percent of employed adults consumed alcohol before coming to work, and 7.1 percent drank alcohol during the workday.
  • An estimated 1.7 percent of employed adults worked while under the influence of alcohol, and 9.2 percent worked with a hangover in the past year.

Small and medium businesses (those with fewer than 500 employees) are less likely to have programs in place to combat the problem illicit drug and alcohol abuse. Yet they’re more likely to be the employer-of-choice for illicit drug and heavy alcohol users. Individuals who can’t adhere to a drug-free workplace policy seek employment at firms that don’t have one. The cost of just one error caused by an impaired employee can devastate your company.
