By partnering with RPT Labs, you can create and maintain a drug and alcohol-free workplace, reducing liability risks and fostering a safe environment for your employees.
Consider the following goals:
- Employee Health: Does your company aim to promote the well-being and health of its workforce?
- Workplace Safety: Are you committed to enhancing and sustaining a safe working environment?
- Risk Reduction: Do you seek to mitigate worker's compensation liability and over all business risk?
- Liability Avoidance: Are you striving to avoid potential liability, including unemployment insurance claims?
Terminating an employee due to a positive drug test may lead to unemployment claims, costing your business money. However, with a robust drug-free workplace program and compliant policies, you may have grounds to contest such claims in states that offer this option.
Similarly, drug use can contribute to accidents and subsequent workers' compensation claims. States may offer defenses like rebuttable presumption of intoxication, allowing employers to deny claims if certain conditions are met.
Employers commonly conduct drug and alcohol screening in various scenarios:
- Pre-employment: After extending a conditional job offer.
- Reasonable Suspicion: When substance use is suspected.
- Post-accident: Following an incident or accident.
- Random: Periodic screening of safety-sensitive employees is recommended.
- Return-to-Duty: As required by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).
- Follow-up: Conditional screening as part of ongoing monitoring.
Understanding the objectives and legal considerations associated with drug screening empowers employers to make informed decisions that prioritize employee well-being and workplace safety.
