Drug and Alcohol Use in the Workplace
Substance abuse costs the United States an estimated $276 billion a year – source SAMHSA
In recent analyses of data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, past-month illicit drug users:
· said they would be less likely than those reporting no current illicit drug use to work for employers that conducted pre-employment drug testing (18.2 percent vs. 3.7 percent)
· reported they would be far less likely to work for employers that conduct random drug testing compared to those reporting no current illicit drug use (29.1 percent of past-month illicit drug users vs. 6.9 percent of non-users)
By The Numbers…
- 40… Forty Percentage of industrial fatalities linked to alcohol use and alcoholism
- 47… Forty Seven Percentage of industrial injuries linked to alcohol use and alcoholism
- 5… Employees who use drugs are Five times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim
- 3… Workers who use drugs are Three times more likely to be late for work
- 500,000,000… Workdays lost annually due to
alcoholism exceeds Five Hundred Thousand
