The Advantages of Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing

Safety

Workplace drug testing is simply about maintaining health and safety standards within the workplace.  Drug use impairs a person’s ability to function in their everyday life. Even if drug use is restricted to outside working hours the effects are long lasting. Drug testing programs help to identity safety risks and eliminate them. This benefits the company as a whole as well as the employees.

Quality of Work

Employers have a right to decide on the type of people they want to hire.  A workplace-testing program ensures the quality of an employee's work is not affected by substance abuse. Drug-testing programs raise the quality of work by eliminating employees that use drugs and are therefore contributing less to the company.

Reduced Work Related Accidents

Accidents happen, but accidents are more likely to occur when there are drugs involved. Workplace testing programs act as a deterrent to drug use. Often if an accident occurs at work, a drug test is performed immediately. This ensures that if drug use is a factor, it is known and can be dealt with immediately. Drug testing may also influence an employee’s decision-making regarding future drug use as the possibility of a test is always there.

Lower Recruitment Costs

Fewer turnovers mean lower recruitment costs. The cost of hiring, firing and training is expensive – it costs a business on average $7,000 to replace a salaried worker. By hiring the right workers the first time, costs are contained, and successful happy employees are retained.

 More Productive Workplaces

Substance abusers are 1/3 less productive in the workplace.  Productivity is paramount to success in any workplace. If you can increase efficiency, then you are more likely to meet company goals and maintain a high level of development. Drug users slow down productivity, perform their duties with less efficiency and disrupt employee morale.
