We’re seeing a concerning trend: some businesses are pulling back on drug testing to save money. But this “saving” comes with a high price. A fall-off in testing has been directly linked to an increase in workplace accidents, more frequent staff absenteeism, and disrupted operations.
Alongside this, the landscape of drug testing is evolving. With the police rolling out roadside oral fluid drug testing, the industry is following suit. More clients are requesting oral fluid tests that show recent use, rather than historical patterns found in urine testing.
Social attitudes toward drugs like cannabis and MDMA are shifting, but that doesn’t mean workplace safety should be compromised. Employers are responsible for ensuring staff are fit for work — and that means staying on top of changing trends and expectations.
At Drug Testing Solutions, we can help you stay ahead of the curve — without cutting corners.
