Urine drug and alcohol testing is provided on a one time only, or ongoing random basis. Lifeline can also tailor a testing solution for private companies requiring Pre-employment screening, rehabilitation monitoring, post accident, safety sensitive, for cause or random. Specimen collection can be either observed or unobserved depending on company policies or individual needs. The following is cause for consideration:

Why Drug Screening?

Costs:

Increased employee absenteeism
(66 percent higher absenteeism among drug users)

Costs in accidents and damages
(5 times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim)

Increased costs for health care
(health benefit utilization is 84 percent greater in dollar terms)

Losses due to employee theft / fraud
(disciplinary actions are 90 percent higher among drug users)

Benefits:

Fewer accidents

Fewer disciplinary actions

Reduced losses due to absenteeism, theft, and fraud

Lower costs due to losses and errors

Reduced costs of insurance claims

Decreased legal costs and costs of hiring and training new employees

Earlier identification and resolution of problems affecting job performance

The federal government estimates that 71 percent of illegal drug users are employed, most working for small businesses.

It is estimated that employee drug use costs American employers over $140 billion each year. If you don't conduct employee drug screens, you're costing your company money.
