Drug use in Melbourne
Illegal drugs in Melbourne are clearly a big problem, with arrests and drug seizures in Brunswick West, Coburg, Pascoe Vale, Hadfield, Fawkner, Campbellfield, Sunshine, and Keilor.
While heroin is the number one killer in illegal drugs, pharmaceuticals are what take up a huge percentage of drug deaths in Victoria. Benzodiazepines are largely attributed to overdose deaths of males aged 25-34.
Now consider the statistics that almost 70% of all drug users are employed. Further, we know that no industry is safe. You really cannot be certain just how many of your own employees or colleagues could be suffering from addiction and drug dependency.
Therefore, you want to protect your employees from the dangers of drug abuse with a comprehensive workplace drug and alcohol testing program.
