Drug & Health Occupational Screening

Why Drug Screen?

Drug use in the workplace costs companies billions of dollars every year in lost productivity, increased health problems and workplace accidents. While many industries are federally mandated to perform drug and alcohol screening on applicants and periodic reinvestigations of employees, an increasing number of companies are creating safer and more productive work environments by voluntarily implementing drug-free workplace operation.

Studies show:

• 10.6% of full-time employees and 13.2% of part-time employees aged 18 or older reported using illicit drugs within the past month
• Employees who use drugs are 2.5 times more likely than co-workers who do not use drugs to be absent for 8 or more days each year
• Employees who use drugs are 3.6 times more likely to be involved in an accident at work
• Employees who use drugs are 4 times more likely to file a workers’ compensation claim

If the overall goal is to establish a safer, more productive and drug-free work environment, there are many benefits that employers receive from drug testing programs including:

• Improve employee productivity
• Reduce on-the-job accidents and workplace crime, including theft and violence
• Reduce employee turnover
• Decrease absenteeism
• Lower workers’ compensation insurance and healthcare costs, including premiums
• Comply with state or federal regulations
