WHY YOU NEED SRS In the workplace, the problems of substance abusers become a threat to safety and productivity. They increase risks of accidents, lower productivity, raise insurance costs, and reduce profits. More than 70 percent of substance abusers hold jobs; one worker in four, ages 18 to 34, used drugs in the past year; and one worker in three knows of drug sales in the workplace. Americans consume 60 percent of the world's production of illegal drugs: 23 million use marijuana at least four times a week; 18 million abuse alcohol; 6 million regularly use cocaine; and 2 million use heroin. Companies that employ safety-sensitive employees and are regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) must have a substance abuse policy that provides SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) or SAE (Substance Abuse Expert) referrals. Many companies with non-safety-sensitive employees choose to implement substance abuse policies and utilize substance abuse specialists to make recommendations for treatment or education. |
