Pre Employment & Workplace Safety - Drugs / Alcohol Testing
Drug and alcohol abuse can have serious consequences for employers and employees. It can cause injuries, absenteeism, lost production, poor performance and low morale, losses associated with inefficiency and damage to equipment and other property.
Employees with drug and alcohol problems can cause injury to themselves and others, lose their job, and damage their physical and mental health.
Workmates can be faced with an increased risk of injury and disputes, resulting from situations such as covering for a colleague’s poor work performance or having to report a work friend to management. And, frighteningly, it’s not necessarily the drug or alcohol user who is injured – innocent co-workers or bystanders can be the victims of workplace accidents. Having a hangover or coming down from drugs at work can be just as problematic as being intoxicated. [source: Business Australia drugs-and-alcohol-in-the-workplace]
