Book Synopsis Alcohol, Drugs and the U. S. Workplace by : James W. Price (Occupational medicine specialist)
Download or read book Alcohol, Drugs and the U. S. Workplace written by James W. Price (Occupational medicine specialist) and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance abusers exert a significant cost burden for employers. Evidence is mounting that worker substance abuse may have its greatest impact on productivity losses including increased absenteeism and short-term disability, higher turnover, and suboptimal performance at work. Full-time workers that reported using illicit drugs or abusing prescribed drugs were more likely to report missing two or more workdays in the past month due to illness or injury and were more likely to have skipped one or more days of work in the past month. But what does one do to address this situation? The response is simple if a worker presents himself acutely intoxicated, but how does one handle off duty or chronic use of potentially impairing substances that may or may not affect job performance and safety? This work reviews the regulatory issues surrounding substance use in the workplace as well as drug and alcohol testing. The text examines the main substances of concern and discusses the literature related to disease based and patient based research considering workplace safety. The monograph ends by describing the evaluation of potentially impaired employees and how to gain objective evidence of their ability to function safely and also how to direct troubled employees toward helpful programs.

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All across the United States, individuals, families, communities, and health care systems are struggling to cope with substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Substance misuse and substance use disorders have devastating effects, disrupt the future plans of too many young people, and all too often, end lives prematurely and tragically. Substance misuse is a major public health challenge and a priority for our nation to address. The effects of substance use are cumulative and costly for our society, placing burdens on workplaces, the health care system, families, states, and communities. The Report discusses opportunities to bring substance use disorder treatment and mainstream health care systems into alignment so that they can address a person's overall health, rather than a substance misuse or a physical health condition alone or in isolation. It also provides suggestions and recommendations for action that everyone-individuals, families, community leaders, law enforcement, health care professionals, policymakers, and researchers-can take to prevent substance misuse and reduce its consequences.

Book Synopsis Alcohol and Illicit Drug Use in the Workforce and Workplace by : Michael Robert Frone
Download or read book Alcohol and Illicit Drug Use in the Workforce and Workplace written by Michael Robert Frone and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite continuing interest in employee alcohol and illicit drug use, there has been little systematic and integrative dissemination of research findings. This has led to many inaccurate claims and beliefs regarding the prevalence, causes, and productivity outcomes of employee substance use. In this authoritative book, Michael R. Frone takes a close, hard look at what we know and don't know about workforce and workplace substance involvement. In doing so, he exposes the lack of evidence behind many popular myths that have persisted since the 1980s "war on drugs," including: * The myth that workplace alcohol and illicit drug use is highly prevalent * The myth that employee substance use has a strong effect on productivity, leading to high costs for employers * The myth that drug testing and employee assistance programs are proven ways for employers to deter substance use Frone's comprehensive review covers nearly all of the related research conducted over the past 20-30 years, including several national studies and government reports as well as the broader research literature. In particular, Frone analyzes methodological limitations and the tendency of many science reporters to "go beyond the data" when interpreting results. Given the need for evidence-based management and policy, this book will be a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners in management, occupational health, and addiction treatment/prevention.
