Pro s for Drug Testing in the Workplace
Drug Testing is a debatable issue. The Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 made drug testing mandatory for all public employees. Others took cue form this and now we have drug testing in private workplaces, schools, colleges and even in rented premises. A drug test is meant to discourage drug use by instilling a sense of fear in the minds of existing and potential drug users. Failing in a drug test can mean loss of job, of sporting achievements, of rented premises or suspension from schools and colleges. This fear is supposed to, and in many cases does, act as a deterrent.
The following are the pros of drug testing in the workplace:
Drug use can lead to chronic absenteeism and underperformance in the workplace. The user will also be more prone to accidents and more likely to behave in an aggressive, and sometimes even violent, manner. The accidents by the drug user can result in injury or death for other innocent colleagues. This can be prevented by a drug test.
The drug user can resort to petty thefts and even robberies if he runs short of money to purchase drugs. This can create legal hassles and give a bad name for the workplace. A drug test will help avoid this.
At the broad societal level, drug use creates the demand for drugs and is the reason for the existence of drug cartels, the narcotics mafia and all their illegal activities. A simple drug test can prevent all this.
The problem is that even non users can test positive if they consume certain medicines and foods before the test. This condition is called as a false positive. This is the reason why people are afraid of the drug test and can fall in the trap of bogus product manufacturers who will claim to know how to pass a drug test in 2 days. The best way to pass a drug test is to abstain from drugs and those medicines and foods that will give a false positive test. For additional precautions, you can go for detoxification under professional guidance.
