Benefits of a Drug Free Workplace

Investment in workplace drug prevention can have huge effects on your bottom line. The benefits of having an employee drug testing and pre-employment drug screening program are many. Employee drug testing will:

1. Save your company time and money and legal costs. (Drug abuse costs American employers over $100 billion a year.)
2. Reduce HR and hiring costs. Pre-employment drug screening saves time and lessens costs in training new employees.
3. Lower worker's compensation costs. Some states permit insurance companies to deny or reduce worker's compensation benefits based on drug testing (Drug users file 5 times as many worker's compensation claims as non-abusers.)
4. Save money due to reduced employee losses, errors and repairs and risks to company assets.
5. Lower accident rates and auto and liability insurance. (65% of job accidents are drug or alcohol related.)
6. Reduce Employee absenteeism, tardiness and turnover.
7. Lessen health insurance costs. (Drug abusers utilize 84% more health benefit dollars.)
8. Prevent employee theft, fraud and damage losses. (Disciplinary actions are 90% higher among drug abusers.)
9. Receive a higher rate of collection on insurance. Companies can deny claims if employees are not drug-free. Some companies require drug testing for claims to be valid.
10. Reduce accidents and increase employee safety. (38%-58% of on the job injuries can be attributed to drug or alcohol abuse).
11. Create a safer workplace. (Up to 40% of industrial fatalities can be linked to alcohol abuse and alcoholism.)
12. Increase employee productivity. (When drug abusers do show up for work, they are 33% less productive.)
13. Improve employee morale. Employees who are NOT drug users usually know which employees ARE drug users.

And last, but not least ...

14. Be your most valuable risk management tool. 76.4% of drug users are employed in companies like yours!
