Drug misuse can be a serious problem not only for the misuser but also for the business where they work and, sometimes, for their co-workers. The possession of some drugs is illegal, exposing the misuser to the risk of criminal charges as well as causing harmful effects to their health.

Successfully tackling drug misuse can benefit both your business and your employees. It can directly lead to:

  • Cost savings – on the cost of recruiting and training new employees to replace those whose employment might be terminated because of untreated drug misuse;
  • Reducing the cost of absenteeism or impaired productivity;
  • A more productive environment by offering support to those employees who declare a drug-related problem, thus improving employee morale;
  • Reducing the risk of accidents caused by impaired judgement;
  • Enhancing the public perception of your organisation as a responsible employer

At Health Business Ltd we can offer routine drug testing as part of a tailored, occupational health programme. For more information, or to book a drugs test call 01254 825600.
