Why you need MHE Labs’ help
Workplace substance abuse costs UK businesses up to £36 billion per year [1]. Approximately 5% of employees in the UK admit to using illegal drugs while at work [2], whilst approximately 10% of UK employees report having worked with someone they suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol [1].
Employees who misuse drugs and alcohol are 2.7 times as likely to have an accident in the workplace [1]. Almost half of all companies in the UK have experienced incidents related to alcohol or drug use by employees [3]. Despite this, only an estimated 65% of employers in the UK have a drug and alcohol policy in place [4].
Workplace drug testing has been shown to result in substantial savings by reducing absenteeism, accident rates, damage to plant and equipment, wasted materials and more.
Our disposable onsite drug testing kits are simple to use and provide an inexpensive, yet accurate result in minutes. In the event of a non-negative test result, this can be followed by a laboratory test to verify the results the same day the sample arrives at the laboratory.
