The Truth You Need to Know About Random Drug and Alcohol Testing by Employers

Welcome to Work Well, PLLC’s Random Drug and Alcohol testing page. We have been researching, monitoring and directly dealing with on the job drug use as well as employees who regularly use drugs and drink to access. In our ongoing efforts, the statistics paint a very clear and grim picture.

-On site drug use by employees is a key contributor to lower productivity. Time and again the data supports this truth.

-Regular drug and alcohol users are 10 times more likely to take time off work. Their health is simply not as good as those that do not partake.

-According to researched statistics, workplace drug and alcohol use costs U.S. businesses an estimated $100 billion each year.

-You can lose up to 30% of the first years potential earnings on just ONE bad hire with drug/alcohol issues. Not to mention you’ve put the other employees at risk and potentially jeopardized client relations if this hire has access to clients.

-Of the 17.2 million drug abusers in the US, 12.9 million are employed either full or part time. Though not surprising it does seem worrisome there are that many situations in who knows how many businesses for increased accidents and potential employee injury.

-Reduce healthcare costs with drug screening: It’s a simple fact that employees who use illegal drugs or routinely drink to excess have a much higher rate of health problems than their co-workers and peers. Thus they cost the company more in lower productivity, missed time and higher healthcare premiums.

-FACT: Between 10 and 20 percent of the nation’s workers that die on the job test positive for alcohol or other drugs. Enough said…

-Drug free boosts profits! Even if you were to ignore all of the previous reasons, one of the biggest justifications for implementing drug screening at your business is to increase profits. By ensuring your workforce is drug free, you are taking a big step to a better (and more profitable) business by maximizing your employee’s talents and abilities and eliminating unnecessary on the job accidents and/or mistakes that are caused by drug/alcohol use.
