As an employer, you are responsible for ensuring workers are safe at your place of business, be it in the retail, manufacturing, oil & gas, construction or energy industries. Employees under the influence of drugs or alcohol can put lives at risk, affect workplace and public safety, and impact job performance. It’s important to establish an environment where drug and alcohol abuse isn’t tolerated while working. Our testing will help your workplace develop worthwhile policies on drugs and alcohol, creating a safer environment for all.
