In staffing, quick placement and safe, compliant workplaces go hand-in-hand. Customized drug and alcohol testing offers a solution for staffing agencies to keep both priorities in check, with targeted testing options that align with industry requirements.
By tailoring drug testing to specific roles, staffing firms can streamline the hiring process, improve safety, and easily meet compliance standards.
Why Drug and Alcohol Testing Matters in Staffing
Drug and alcohol testing is essential for staffing agencies. Statistics show that 57.4% of drug users aged 18 to 64 are full-time employees, making workplace drug testing an essential tool to address substance misuse effectively. Additionally, about 20% of employees involved in fatal workplace accidents tested positive for alcohol or drug use, highlighting the life-saving potential of workplace testing
Tailored employee drug and alcohol testing allows agencies to meet specific industry mandates, whether they’re following OSHA guidelines, sector-specific requirements, or client-preferred parameters.
