Of total drug users in the U.S., 74.8 percent are employed and active in the workplace — this means that 12.9 million individuals actively use drugs in the workforce, according to OSHA.
Many aspects of the workplace require alertness, as well as accurate and quick reflexes. Any kind of impairment can cause serious accidents and interfere with the accuracy and efficiency of work. Impairments can cause problems not only for the user, but for co-workers and the entire company.
