Drug and Alcohol Awareness Online Training Course

The workplace statistics on the impact in the workplace of drug and alcohol use is staggering:

47% of serious workplace accidents and 40% of workplace accidents resulting in fatalities have drug or alcohol involvement
The use of alcohol or drugs accounts for 38% to 50% of all workers’ compensation claims
More than 90% of alcoholics and 74% of drug addicts are employed
In an average U.S. company, 15% to 17% of employees affect their workplaces through substance abuse
On average, an employee with inappropriate substance use costs their employer $7,000 to $25,000 annually (Small Business Administration)

Effective training on drug and alcohol issues supports a healthy and effective workplace culture by improving productivity, lowering absenteeism, preventing theft, and improving safety and morale. It also helps prevent work-related injuries and illnesses—all of which translates into a healthier workplace and bottom line.
