Proactive Strategies to Minimize the Risks of Impairment on Construction Sites

The data reported in 2017 and 2018 was staggering; an estimated 48.5 million Americans reported using illicit drugs or misusing prescription drugs, nearly 15 percent of construction workers in the Midwest deal with substance abuse, and 20% of employed workers in British Columbia that fatally overdosed worked in construction. There are new marijuana laws in multiple states. Synthetic drugs are becoming more prevalent. All of this can seem overwhelming. What can and should companies do to minimize the risk of drug use on their projects?
