Book Synopsis Drug Testing in the Workplace by : Kay Lumas
Download or read book Drug Testing in the Workplace written by Kay Lumas and published by Dr. Kay Lumas. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing that alcohol and drug use in the workplace is a significant social and economic problem, various forms of drug testing have been branded as the solutions to a safer and more productive work environment. In this determined drive to find a userfriendly and accurate substance use detection strategy, a variety of drug testing procedures have been developed and used with varying consistently across industry groups. One such method, trace detection technology, however, has been employed in spite of the paucity of empirical evidence to validate its use as a stand-alone screening system for drug detection. Furthermore, research on the impact of false positive results of trace detection technology is extremely limited amidst a climate in many locales in which it is regularly used. With trace detection technology being used extensively in both the private and public sectors for drug screening purposes, the objectives of this research were twofold: To examine the efficacy of trace detection technology as a stand alone method of drug testing by exploring the lived experiences of commercial truck drivers who have experienced false-positive drug test results firsthand; and to explore the emotional and physical impact of false-positive test results generated by this technology on the individual commercial truck driver. The results from this research have broad implications for general workforces subject to periodic or scheduled drug screening, for law enforcement professionals who rely on a detection strategy that can produce false positive outcomes, for the legal community seeking understanding of this technology application, and for social science professionals who seek to pursue a provocative research topic.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of Worker Drug Use and Workplace Policies and Programs by : John Patrick Hoffmann
Download or read book An Analysis of Worker Drug Use and Workplace Policies and Programs written by John Patrick Hoffmann and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report uses information from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) to examine a number of issues involving illicit drug and heavy alcohol use among U.S. workers and workplace policies that address drug and alcohol use. It presents data derived from 7,055 NHSDA respondents, age 18-49, who reported that they were working full-time at the time they were interviewed. These respondents represent over 78 million full-time workers in the United States. In 1994, the NHSDA included an expanded set of questions concerning workplace issues. This expanded set was the result of a collaborative effort between the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the U.S. Department of Labor, and the U.S. Small Business Administration. The 1994 NHSDA instrument included questions about various work-related outcomes (e.g., missing work, being fired, workplace accidents), occupation, establishment size, whether respondents had been provided with information at their workplace regarding use of alcohol or drugs, the presence of written policies and employee assistance programs for workers with drug or alcohol problems, and the use of various drug testing options and employees' perceptions about them.

This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

As a practicing toxicologist, Dr. Amitava Dasgupta is involved with the pre-employment drug testing at his own hospital and aptly shares his expertise in Beating Drug Tests and Defending Positive Results: A Toxicologist’s Perspective, which covers all major issues concerning how people try to beat drug tests and defend positive test results.
