Why should companies have drug and alcohol testing programs?
According to the American Council for Drug Education, employees who abuse drugs and alcohol are:
- 10 times more likely to miss work
- 3.6 times more likely to be involved in on-the-job accidents
- 5 times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim
- 33 percent less productive
- Incur health care costs that are three times the normal rate
- Responsible for 40 percent of all industrial fatalities
According to Employee Assistance Quarterly, the impact of employee substance abuse is a problem that extends beyond the substance-using employee. Co-worker job performance and attitudes may be negatively affected.
- 1 in 5 workers reports having been put in danger, having been injured, or having had to work harder, to re-do work, or to cover for a co-worker as a result of a fellow employee's substance abuse.
Pre-employment and random drug testing can help employers to have a safe, productive workforce. Drug testing:
- Improves the quality of applicants
- Reduces accidents
- Reduces theft
- Reduces absenteeism
- Reduces employee turnover
- Reduces training expenses
- Reduces healthcare and worker's compensation costs
- Improves overall morale and productivity
