Preventing Drug-Related Workplace Injuries

Abstract: A 10 page paper discussing the influence of drugs on the incidence of workplace accidents. Most reports in the popular press indicate that both drug and alcohol use are declining, yet conflicting reports exist. Some surveys conclude that substance abuse has declined in some age groups while increasing in others; the most disturbing finding of all as it applies to corporate America is that both drug and alcohol use are increasing in the workplace. Some employers are beginning to test employees for drugs immediately following workplace accidents, however, and are having good results in identifying and removing problem employees until they are either drug free or terminated, and finding an added benefit of reductions in worker's compensation insurance premiums. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
