Drug and alcohol screening employees pre-hire has become more relvant in today’s business world.
Prevention is always the best policy: if your company does not conduct drug and alcohol screening, it may be time to start.
Essential points to consider if you’re on the fence about substance testing:
Helps safeguard customers, employees, and your business as a whole.
Builds a solid workforce in terms of performance standards and overall employee conduct.
Many positions have mandatory drug screening requirements, while other positions where drug screens are not required should still have them as part of company policy to dissuade and minimize drugs in the workplace.
Should a drug-related accident occur, companies with sound drug screening policies and procedures are more likely to avoid incidents, lawsuits, and penalties based on employer negligence.

There are no precise fgures of the number of workplace accidents attributable to alcohol. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimated that up to 40% of accidents at work involve or are related to alcohol use.” Read more on statistics and even policy soltutions from the Institute of Alcohol Studies here.
