We've been hearing about the Opioid Epidemic for a quite a while now. Overdoses, deaths and the impact upon families and the communities has been profound. But overlooked is the impact of this drug epidemic on the factory floor. Large numbers of applicants routinely fail drug tests and cannot be allowed to work with heavy and potentially dangerous equipment. Safety is key. Just like you wouldn't want a stoned pilot, a stoned doctor, a stoned air traffic controller, you don't want a crane operator under the influence either. Thus the need for drug testing in many industries. The problem needs to be dealt with now. |
