OVERVIEW
Prescription use by employees – whether legal or illegal – is difficult to handle. More and more employees are taking benzoids to deal with psychiatric issues. The abuse of opioid medications is considered to be a national epidemic. Even over the counter drugs can cause safety concerns. Employers need to stay vigilant to protect their business and to ensure that they are providing a safe working environment for all.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Each year, alcohol and drug abuse costs American businesses approximately $100 billion in lost productivity. Employers' primary costs related to addictions are not for the treatment of the disease of addiction. Instead, they are direct health care costs for related injuries and health problems, and indirect costs for absenteeism, productivity, workplace injuries, workers compensation and disability claims. Employers clearly have a need to address employees’ use of drugs – even if they are being used legally. Yet, the law puts many roadblocks to the unwary employer in how to address this difficult and costly issue.
