Drug Free Workplace

For employees, the consequences of drug abuse can be tragic not only for users and their families, but also for co-workers and customers who are put in jeopardy by others’ illicit use of drugs. Moreover, beyond the physical dangers, employees jobs maybe jeopardized if a company’s profitability is undermined by the poor performance, mistakes and accidents of drug abusers.
For employers, the consequences of drug abuse can be highly detrimental. If American companies are to remain competitive in an increasingly global economy, they must strive to maintain a work force that is free from drub abuse.
It is appropriate that employers require that their employees be drug-free and establish a policy whereby e employees who engage in illegal behavior regarding drug abuse be held accountable for their actions.
Drug-education and drug-awareness programs also are highly appropriate and critically important to employers overall efforts to prevent dug abuse in the workplace and protect their workers.
