Yes, research proves drug screening will give you a much better workplace! Alcohol and drug screening in the workplace has a positive effect on attendance, productivity, morale, health care cost
s, and safety. That conclusion is from a poll by The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA). The poll found that high absenteeism rates and workers’ comp rates both dropped by nearly 50 percent with screening. Also 19 percent of organizations reported an increase in productivity. The bottom line: drug screening is a powerful tool that provides far-reaching benefits. According to a Gallup survey, 78 percent support their company’s efforts to keep the workplace drug-free. Research also confirms that businesses without screening attract alcohol and drug users, because those employees cannot get work elsewhere. That’s a risk you don’t have to take! Setting up a screening program is easy and affordable. The battle to keep the workplace drug-free is ever-changing. The growing abuse of prescription and synthetic drugs requires the latest testing methods. We at FADS work hard to keep up with changes in the field and in the law, so you can rest easy, knowing that your screening program is state-of-the-art.

Getting a Drug-Free Workplace
The first step in getting a drug-free workplace is setting up an account with a Third Party Administrator (TPA). A TPA is a company that will set up all the accounts you will need to get your drug/alcohol program started and maintained. These accounts include:
Collection Site – for the collection and shipment of specimens
Lab – For the actual testing of the specimens
Medical Review Officer (MRO) – for the review and verification of any results that report as a non-negative
Results Reporting – ensures confidentiality and efficiency
Record Upkeep – maintains files for your program
Bill Paying – condenses your bill into one instead of three or four
A TPA should also be able to help you in developing a policy for your employees and supervisors, maintaining compliancy with the DOT regulations and implementing a random program, if desired.
