Could Your Company Benefit from a Drug and Alcohol Testing Program?

Government studies have demonstrated that, in contrast to non drug-using employees, drug or alcohol-impaired employees:

• Are three to four times more likely to be injured on the job
  


• Cause 40% of all industrial fatalities
  


• Cause 47% of all industrial injuries
  


• File three to four times as many “sickness” claims
  


• Are 25%-35% less productive

Illegal drugs are a serious problem in the workplace. Approximately five percent of all employees who are tested test positive. Today, the majority of businesses who employ safety-sensitive employees have some form of drug testing program in place.

Employee Drug Testing for Business Owners
Drug dependency amongst employees is not only concerning to business owners because it endangers employees’ health; drug usage can also result in grievously impaired performance. If you have a drug policy in place which states that your employees must submit to drug testing requests, you can make use of the services of the H & T Group for efficient and professional results. If you are already drug testing, we can offer you substantial savings. If you don’t prescribe, we can help you write a policy and start your pool. With no limit to employees tested, everyone can be included in a mandatory or voluntary testing pool.

We come to you so that you can maintain productivity and efficiency. The H & T Group can offer our on-site services to you at a SUBSTANTIAL cost savings versus sending your employees to an off-site lab.

Benefits of a Drug-Free Workplace
Companies that implement efficient drug-free workplace programs typically will:

• Hire better employees
  


• Experience less employee turnover
  


• Realize higher productivity
  


• Reduce employee absenteeism/lost time
  


• Improve employee safety
  


• Enjoy better compliance with regulatory agencies
  


• Earn credit on workers’ compensation premium
