Mobile Drug Testing In The Workplace And Offices

By Jill Faulkner


Federal laws are now allowing the corporate companies to conduct mobile drug testing at a random. This is no longer viewed as a violation of the human rights of the employee. Rather, it has been seen as a responsible action of the company to detect and report possible miscreants in the workplace. It has come to the attention of the government that there has been a rise of the people who have been addicted to these substances.

Sixteen percent of the working population are the ones that abuse substances in the area. It represents more than three quarters of the users who are eighteen and older. There should be people who do the same things with them for a very long time.

There are so many citizenry at risk from being in constant contact with an illegal substance abuser since these do not necessarily conform to the stereotype. They may appear as colleagues and really good friends at work. They may even be in the guise of bosses at work. Some individual may be able to see the signs that indicates a user among the workers in the company.

The decrease in the productivity is cited as one of the risks associated with having an employee who takes drugs. This makes the person miss work more often and it is usually confirmed that they do get a standard issue in the area. Most of the time, there could be something that would allow them to break even in so many areas.

These are being implemented in many ways which will depend on the environment and the purpose. Many companies have their employees undergo the examination on a yearly basis. Most of them should begin to make sense with some people in the area. These have been done in a random maner of the game.

Should the employee refuses to submit to the policy, then it would be legal to fire the employee based on their own personal preference. However, the firing of the employee should not be done unless the employee has been warned. It is preferred that everything be done in writing which would interpret to the physical things that people have made. The main decision that the company will be making as to which group of employees shall be covered by the examinations

There are special laboratories that would evaluate the results from the examination. It should be noted that there are some people who need to make sure that they get to make it in the end. Other forms of examination involve the sampling of saliva, blood and the urine. Hair may also be tested since it might contain traces of such chemicals

The basic tests screens for traces of amphetamines which are the common on the street level in most cities. Addiction to amphetamines have been the top problem of many companies. It would also be a good thing for them to have the areas that would allow them to give the best for the things that they would need.

The importance of mobile drug testing at work is that it allows them to identify employees that may pose problems. Today, at least forty nine percent of the part time workers are subject to a form of examination that would detect chemicals in the body. Twelve percent have used these things within the past year.
