Drugs are dangerous. They affect the mind in several ways. Drugs typically through off a person’s coordination, ability to think, and even their health. An employee who abuses drugs is a potential hazard for all employees you have on staff. It is a businesses’ responsibility to provide health and safety regulations for the employees to follow. A failure to provide the correct regulations is considered negligent and could result in several fines, lawsuits, and worse the close of a business. The government does not take drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace lightly. It is therefore imperative you provide workplace drug testing.

Workplace drug testing allows you to screen your employees when they are first hired, on random workplace drug testing, and during an accident. When an accident occurs the workplace drug testing can be performed up to two hours after the incident. If serious injury resulted a business can order a drug test to be performed during the hospital procedures. If the injury is not serious then a consultant from ProActive Health and Safety can do the workplace drug testing.

Workplace drug testing is more than just finding out which employees may be abusing drugs. It is more to the point of protecting the employees who are not using drugs. By offering workplace drug testing you ensure that all employees have a lower risk of being in an accident as a result of drug abuse.

ProActive Health and Safety provides all three methods of the workplace drug testing when you need it. They are on call as well as available for full time hire as a consultancy group. They will help protect your business by providing proper information on the workplace drug testing as well as on other health and safety concerns you might have. Sometimes it is better to have an objective mind for the workplace drug testing.
