Keep Your Workplace Safe: The Importance of Drug & Alcohol Testing

WorkerCare


Running a business comes with its fair share of challenges—tight deadlines, demanding clients, and that one office coffee maker that always breaks at the worst time. But one challenge no employer should have to deal with? Workplace safety risks due to drugs and alcohol.


Implementing a solid drug and alcohol screening program helps stop problems before they start, ensuring a healthy, safe, and productive work environment. Whether it’s part of a safety program or a regulatory requirement, drug testing is a simple step that can save businesses from costly mistakes, workplace accidents, and liability issues.


Why Should You Screen?

Think of drug and alcohol testing as preventative maintenance—like getting an oil change for your car before the engine light comes on. Some of the most common reasons businesses require screenings include:


✔ Post-Offer Testing – Ensuring new hires are ready to work, substance-free.

✔ Post-Accident Testing – Determining whether drugs or alcohol played a role in an incident.

✔ Random Testing – Keeping everyone on their toes and workplaces drug-free.

✔ Reasonable Suspicion Testing – If someone is acting strangely (like holding a meeting with their stapler), it might be time for a test.


Custom Testing for Your Workplace

At Worker Care, we perform the following drug and alcohol tests listed below, including specific DOT tests, to ensure compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
