Drug-free Productivity by Design

Helping Improve the Workplace Environment, Performance - - - and in the End, Profits!

Employees are the most valued part of your organization. Their health and safety are serious concerns. However, drug use and alcohol misuse may pose a serious threat to employee health and safety, and, therefore, it is of the utmost importance that a position on substance abuse be incorporated in any successful business plan.

Employee performance and efficiency is severely inhibited by substance abuse. The accompanying Fact Sheet spells out that absenteeism and accident rates are increased about four to five times for employees by drug and alcohol problems; health and workers comp claims are three to four times greater than for the non-abuser. And in these litigious days, any accident or incident involving employees under the influence of a prohibited substance can lead to burdensome, non-productive business hours in and out of court along with subsequent, costly settlements.

A drug-free workplace: an effective, productive and  profitable workplace.

We can help.

Peak Paths guides organizations in maintaining a drug-free workplace. For over a decade we have been working with employers and employees facing problems of substance abuse on the job. Since 1994 our work has been concentrated in assisting organizations, small and large, public and private, in compliance with federal Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing regulations or in implementing voluntary drug-free workplace programs.

Here's what we can do:

Assess your current drug-free workplace policy and your needs with respect to safety, employee performance, health issues, morale and potential liability issues.

Develop a policy statement designed to fit your organizational needs.

Implement a program in full compliance with your policy and federal regulations, if applicable.

For organizations required to comply with federal mandates, we can act as third party administrator and program manager, setting up approved random selection systems, providing compliant reporting systems.

Provide comprehensive orientation and educational materials for employees.

Provide superior training for supervisors in recognizing and reporting incidents involving reasonable suspicion of employee drug or alcohol use.

Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) services provides assessment and referrals to employees testing positive for drugs or alcohol, complying with federal standards.

Provide expert testimony in appropriate matters pertaining to drug-free workplace practices.
