New York City Provides A Case For Implementing A Drug Free Workplace Policy

A shocking decision by a New York Judge to keep a drug troubled pre-school director on the streets has raised emotions in Brooklyn, NY. According to the The NY Daily News, Mr. Andy Lewis was shown leniency this week as he was awarded bail and kept out of jail after passing his recent drug test... the kicker is that he tested positive for cocaine in 8 out of his last 9 drug screens! And to inflame the situation even more, Mr. Lewis is facing charges of theft as he was accused of stealing $500,000 in government aid that was suppose to go towards the purchase of free meals for children who couldn't afford to bring their own. Mr. Lewis will be forced into a residential drug rehab center if he tests positive on any of his weekly tests going forward. Whether it is a school, corporate office building or construction site, a drug free workplace policy and some sort of credential checking should be enacted in order to protect all parties involved.

Results from the 2014 Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index™ (DTI) show that, in the general U.S. workforce, random urine drug test positivity rates are higher (5.7 percent) than they are for pre-employment (4.0 percent) or periodic (1.6 percent). Random or “spot” drug testing works as a drug use deterrent because these programs are conducted in an unannounced and unpredictable manner.
