For the Business Owner/Operator: The Substance Abuse and Metal Health Services Administration reported that approximately 77% of illicit drug users in the United States are employed. They further indicated that approximately 67% of all work related accidents are the direct result of substance abuse. Accidents, lost time and employee hiring all cost the business owner. While drug testing options are viable for hiring and targeted intervention procedures, using drug detection dogs is a less invasive method of eradicating drugs from the workplace. Employers, by law, must make every effort to maintain a drug-free workplace. This program gives you a very reliable, discreet method of protecting your business. As a business owner, you will want to schedule to have the inspection at a time when no employees are on site so the results of the inspection can be kept private. |
