America’s businesses pay a high price for drug abuse. Some costs, increased absences, accidents and errors are obvious. Others, such as low employee morale and high illness rates, are less so, but the effects are equally harmful.

Employers have enormous power to protect their businesses from drug abuse by educating employees about its dangers and encouraging individuals with drug problems to seek help. To help businesses benefit from being drug free and to further its mission to help America’s employers maintain safe and healthy workplaces, the U.S. Department of Labor created Working Partners for an Alcohol and Drug Free Workplace. Working Partners raises awareness about the impact drugs have on the workplace and provides information on how to establish drug free workplace programs that protect worker safety and health.

Drug-free workplace programs do more than just rid the workplace of harmful drugs, they significantly contribute to the creation of drug free families, schools and communities.  Call today to discuss what drug testing your employees can do to protect your bottom line.
