General Services Industry Workplace Drug Testing
| General Services / Business Services Industry Drug Testing: Many service employers wrongly believe that substance abuse is a problem only in industries that have "safety-sensitive" positions-jobs requiring the operation of vehicles, machinery and tools. However, the general services industry including business and repair serbices, finance, insurance, real estate, professional and personal services, pays a high price for substance abuse. | |

It is the nation's largest employer of people in "security-sensitive positions"-jobs through which employees have access to financial records, maintain confidential information or are privy to a company's ideas or product plans. Mistakes made by employees impaired due to abuse of alcohol or other drugs have far-reaching consequences. In order to ensure the security and success of their enterprises, America's service employers must have workplaces that are alcohol and drug free.
