Alcohol and other drugs use is one of the most serious health problems affecting employers today. 

A Monash University study has estimated that combined drug and alcohol use costs at least $13.7 billion in direct and indirect costs to the Australian economy.

Drugs and alcohol are estimated to be a factor in 25 per cent of workplace accidents and 10 per cent of workplace deaths

Alcohol and other Drug users are:

• 3.6 times more likely to be involved in accidents

• 5 times more likely to file workers compensation claims

• 3 times more likely to be late for work

• 2.4 times more likely to require early dismissal

• 2.5 times more likely to use excessive sick leave entitlements (8 days or more)

For the typical employer, this may mean unhealthy and at risk employees, unsafe work conditions, loss of productivity, smaller profits, more accidents, theft and fraud, high staff turnover.
