Substance
abuse is a huge, worldwide problem. In the United States
alone there are over 50 million binge drinkers, 17 million
illegal drug users and almost 15 million people who abuse
prescription drugs. Most substance abusers have jobs.
In fact, it is estimated that one out of every ten workers
has a substance abuse problem. An employee with an alcohol
or drug problem can decrease productivity, create a hostile
work environment and damage a company's good name. Worst
of all, the actions of a worker who is "under the
influence" can completely undermine a company's efforts
to keep people safe.
The
second in a two-part series on dealing with drug and alcohol
abuse in the workplace, SafetyManager's training products
on "Dealing with Drug and Alcohol Abuse for Managers
and Supervisors" discuss the various forms of substance
abuse that are typically found in the workplace, how managers
and supervisors can detect substance abuse problems, and
what they should and shouldn't do if they discover a worker
with a substance abuse problem.
