National Safety Month! American business has a drug problem. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, more than 19.7 million Americans use some type of illegal substance. As many as 74 percent of all illicit drug users in this country are employed. Several government and private industry studies concluded that each drug user in the workplace “can cost an employer an average of $11,000-$13,000 annually.” That adds up to a cost to American businesses of billions in healthcare costs, lost production time, injuries and damage to equipment and facilities.
