They are all aware about

the benefits or advantages

of the procedure

including:

Providing safety and protection in the workplace

Saving the company from any possible danger and

circumstances

Sustaining the credibility of the company

Maintaining a drug free environment in the

workplace

On the other hand, employers must

also be aware about the

disadvantages that drug testing can

bring. The applicant or employee who

will be screened will be the most

affected for this procedure.

The primary downside to a drug free in theworkplace regulation is that workers commonlydisagree to the random drug testing substancethat exists in various programs. Employers whoprefer to implement the drug testing methodmust be subtle and sensitive to the fact thatmost employees visualize drug testing asintrusive and a clear evidence of a lack ofemployer trust.

Here are some views of the

employees regarding drug testing:

Rivals of drug testing are certain that non-

substance users are exposed to ill-treatment

because of the activities of some employees.

Employees may sense that their confidentiality is being occupied and

that what they do outside of the workplace is not their employer’s

concerns.

Being positive in drug test does not mean that the employee was not credible at work or cannot perform his/her obligations just that they used an illegal drugs within the time restrictions that

the test checked.

Employees are anxious that the off-work use

of drugs or alcohol may carry the same

penalties to an employee as would be applied

to an employee who uses illegal drugs inside

the workplace.

Therefore, if you do make

random drug testing as

part of your company’s

policy, make sure you

treat your employees with

formality and respect their

privacy.
