Assure Lab Works located in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada offers proven employee drug testing solutions to enable a drug free workplace and community.

Employee drug testing is unfortunately one of the most controversial and troublesome issues facing employers. Rising employee turnover, absenteeism, tardiness, on-the-job accidents, health benefit utilization and costs, workers compensation claims, inventory shrinkage and employee theft, lowered productivity, and workplace violence are problems directly attributable to substance abuse.

To address the illicit drug problem, employers have implementing substance abuse policies and instituted drug and alcohol testing programs to screen out substance-abusing applicants and to detect substance abusers on the job.

Employee drug testing programs help protect the health and safety of all employees, and mitigate the costs associated with having drug abusers on the payroll. They provide early identification, and the ability to refer employees with substance abuse problems for treatment. The integration of drug screening procedures with appropriate drug education and treatment programs is proving not only to be an effective way of managing substance abuse, but also a valuable tool in achieving positive employee relations, delivering significant cost savings, and providing businesses with a competitive advantage.
