A Drug and Alcohol Testing Program, as part of your organization’s drug and alcohol policy, is a proven tool in the enhancement of workplace safety, productivity and organizational culture. Every employer has an obligation to take all steps necessary to protect the safety of employees and the public. Accidents are expensive, both in financial and human terms.

In Canada, abuse of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs is siphoning almost $40 billion a year from the Canadian economy. That figure, based on data from 2002, includes the cost to the health care and justice systems, as well as loss productivity resulting from disability and premature death. Security of corporate assets, including information, is placed at increased risk due to drug and/or alcohol use in the workplace.
