Drug and alcohol testing in the workplace is essential for maintaining a safe and productive environment. With the help of Mobile Health, NYC’s top provider for employee drug and alcohol testing, businesses can ensure their workforce remains reliable and compliant with regulations.
Here’s why this testing is so crucial and how Mobile Health can help.
Ensuring Safety and Productivity
One of the main reasons for drug and alcohol testing is to ensure the safety of all employees and your clients, customers, or patients. In industries such as construction, transportation, and healthcare, the presence of substances can significantly increase the risk of accidents and injuries. About 10 percent of workplace deaths involve workers under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
More than 70% of people with substance abuse issues maintain regular employment. Regular testing helps identify employees who may be under the influence, thereby reducing potential hazards and ensuring a safer workplace for everyone.
Additionally, employees who are free from drugs and alcohol are more likely to be productive and focused. Substance abuse can lead to decreased efficiency, higher absenteeism, and increased errors, all of which can negatively impact a company’s bottom line. This is estimated to cost businesses over $81 billion each year.
By implementing a comprehensive testing program, businesses can maintain high levels of productivity and quality of work.
