Benefits of substance abuse testing:
Typically, small businesses
experience the greatest burden of substance
abusers. Substance abusers shy away from
companies who have drug-free workplace programs in
place and go to work for the small businesses
without a program so they remain
undetected.
Substance abuse testing can
decrease: workplace accidents, production costs,
medical costs, workers compensation premiums,
turnover, theft and shrinkage. By implementing a
substance abuse
program, companies also boost employee morale and loyalty.
Consider these facts:
- 76.4% of illicit drug users are employed
- 11% of employees have been offered drugs to use at work
- When compared to employees without a diagnosed substance
abuse problem, alcohol abusers
are 2 times as likely, drug abusers are 3 times as
likely, & alcohol-and-drug abusers are 4 times
as likely to be hospitalized for injury.
-- National Drug-Free Workplace Alliance, September 21, 2005
- Employed drug abusers are 50% more likely to steal from their employers.
-- South Florida Business Journal, April 17, 2006.
Why ScreenNow/ Why drug and alcohol testing?
- ChoicePoint, ScreenNow's parent company, is the
largest administrator of substance abuse testing services
in the US. We process more than five million drug tests each
year.
- 98% of Fortune 200 companies have implemented some
type of drug testing during their pre-employment process.
- Post-accident testing can have a powerful impact on your
company's workers' compensation
experience. Furthermore, some states permit
insurance companies to deny or reduce workers'
compensation benefits if the employee was impaired
or intoxicated at the time of the
accident.
- Random testing is not only a detection device but also a successful deterrent against drug and/
or alcohol use.
- Reasonable Cause (“reasonable suspicion”) testing gives employers an opportunity to test an
employee suspected of being intoxicated or under the influence of drugs prior to injuring themselves
or others.
- Return-to-duty testing ensures that drug(s) and/or alcohol no longer impair the employee if/when
they are allowed to return to work.
- Follow-up testing ensures that your investment in a company Employee Assistance Program
(or rehabilitation program) for your employees is effective.
