Why Drug Testing?

You might be tempted to say that something like drug testing has no place in an office and it should be kept out. But the fact is that companies are experimenting with drug testing because drug and alcohol misuse is ever increasing. A recent survey suggests that 17 percent of the adult population are regular illegal drug users. It is the responsibility (duty of care) of all employers to provide a safe working environment. An employee or contractor on your worksite who is affected by drug use cannot assist in providing a safe workplace. They are a danger to themselves, their work colleagues and others. Statistics suggest employees who are regular drug users are ten times more likely to take sick leave and 33 percent less productive than abstainers.
