These one day seminars bring together those that assist with Drug and Alcohol testing in the Workplace, those that are looking at Drug and Alcohol testing, those that have a Drug and Alcohol policy but do not enforce it, and those that have a comprehensive Drug and Alcohol testing policy in place.
According to the British Crime Survey carried out by the Home Office, nearly half of all people aged between 16 and 29 have used an illegal drug in the last 12 months. 70% of substance misusers are working in full-time employment and are 3.6 times more likely to be involved in an accident in the workplace than their substance-free colleagues.
Substance misuse is currently costing UK industry an estimated £12-16 billion every year in workplace accidents, claims for compensation, ill health, absenteeism, reduced productivity and criminal activity.
