Workplace Drug Testing
a cost-effective risk management tool
• Drug use costs employers $75 to $100 Billion annually in lost time, accidents, health care and workers compensation.
• 65% of all on-the-job accidents are related to drugs or alcohol.
• Substance abusers are 6 times more likely to file workers compensation claims and use 16 times as many health care benefits.
• A drug testing program will lessen the impact from drug abuse, including tardiness, absenteeism, turnover, attitude problems, theft, decreased productivity and crime.
