How much will a drug-free workplace cost me? The nominal costs of establishing a drug free workplace program should always be weighed against the high risks of not having a program in place. For many employers, one serious accident, one major financial problem, one breach of confidentiality or one troubled employee can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and even jeopardize a company's financial future. The nonprofit, 501(c)3 Council on Alcohol and Drugs' DRUGS DON'T WORK program has been assisting companies with implementing and maintaining cost-effective drug free workplace programs since 1993. Many states offer a mandatory discount on workers' compensation insurance premiums for companies that achieve state certification as a drug free workplace. In additon, many insurors offer voluntary discounts to their clients who implement a drug free workplace program. For more information:
