Drug and Alcohol Testing

Drug and alcohol testing is important for employers to address in their workplace, regardless of the industry. Whether you’re creating and implementing a drug and alcohol test or modifying an existing one, the following sessions will help guide you in learning what is best for your company and how to ensure compliance and industry standards with your drug testing program. With the rise of CBD oil and constant changes with marijuana state laws, employers must comprehend the laws in their state and how it relates to their company’s drug testing policies and procedures to avoid litigation, while also maintaining a safe working environment that meets industry standards.

The Dangers of a Non-Drug Testing Drug Testing Program

In the world of workplace drug testing a new version of the non-denial denial has come into existence, it is the “non-drug testing drug testing” program. Join us to learn the five telltale signs of a non-drug testing drug testing program and we’ll go through the challenges presented by each one.

RTD – Why Return to Duty Programs are More Important Than Ever

Both the employer and the employee are affected when an employee fails a DOT drug test (DOT alcohol test). It is important for employers to consider the value of keeping a skilled employee on board. A skilled employee's annual earnings are at least a third of the cost of replacing them, according to the Society for Human Resources Managers (SHRM). Suddenly, the employee's livelihood is halted and safety-sensitive duties are removed from them. The employee can, however, be offered a second chance as an alternative that will benefit both parties. Join us for more information on the benefits of an RTD program and what to consider when setting one up.
