Workplace Testing

Keep Your Workplace Safe

Workplace drug-testing programs are designed to detect the presence of alcohol, illicit drugs, or certain prescription drugs. Drug testing is a prevention and deterrent method that is often part of a comprehensive drug-free workplace program. Both federal and non-federal workplaces may have drug testing programs in place.

Any workplace drug-testing program should comply with applicable local, state, and federal laws.

• 2.5 times more likely to be absent for 8 days or more each year.
• 3 times more likely to have higher medical costs.
• 3.6 times more likely to be involved in an accident at work.
