The misuse of drugs and alcohol are growing problems in today’s society and those involved do not conform to any stereotype. At work the result can be absenteeism, poor time keeping, poor work performance and therefore productivity, and an increase in work related incidents and injuries.
A regular drug or alcohol misuser is;
• 3.6 times more likely to be involved in an accident at work
• 3 times more likely to take sick leave
• 5 times more likely to claim compensation
• 33% less productive
• 10 times more likely to be late
An astonishing 60% of fatalities at work are drug or alcohol related.
Any action taken by a company should be supported by a drug and alcohol policy and at Healthwork we are able to assist in producing a policy which meets the needs of individual organisations as well as addressing health, safety and legal issues.
Our fully trained staff can provide a full 24 hour drug and alcohol screening programme including sample collection, appropriate chain of custody arrangements, employee information leaflets and rapid turnaround of results.
We are also on hand to assist you in the management of employees who give positive results on testing.
