With the increased use of drugs by men and women in the workforce, corporations are taking notice of this issue by increasing identification and prevention programs offered by Washington K-9.

In the new workplace - just as in the old - employers can choose to respond to drugs and alcohol use in a variety of ways-

Some work better than others, but three approaches are most common.

• Prevention / Detection / Testing

• Employee Assistance Programs

• Health Promotion Programs

Washington K-9, Inc., can assist your facility with our expertise in the areas of prevention and detection. According to the American Management Association, better than 81% of US Businesses test at least some of their workforce in the past year.

If you're in business, you must face some facts:

• seventy percent of all illegal drug users are employed either full - or - part time. This suggests over 10 million people are current users of illicit drugs.

• one in twelve full - time employees reports current use of illicit drugs.

What do these numbers mean to you? It means a major business problem for you. Because substance abuse affects the bottom line, it costs you money.

That means REAL DOLLAR COSTS to you in all these areas:

absenteeism                   insurance claims

sick leave                       tardiness

overtime pay                  workers' compensation

 But there are HIDDEN COSTS that drive up your bill for substance abuse:

• diverted supervisory and management time

• friction among workers

• damage to equipment

• poor decisions

• damage to companies' public image

• personnel turnover

For every $1 invested in prevention / detection / testing, there's a $4 return to taxpayers / employers in reduction of drug-related crime, criminal justice costs and theft.

Washington K-9, Inc., can assist you in developing or revising a comprehensive drug -free policy that will be effective and well within the law. We can also provide supervisor training on identifying illicit drugs and their  symptoms.

• - Abusers are more prone to  accidents on the job.

• - Abusers are frequently absent or late for work.
