Drug and Alcohol Testing

In 2019, Alberta saw just under 1000 deaths due to alcohol and/or drug use. 75% of these deaths were male.  The highest group of users ranged in age from 25-39 years of age. (Alberta Opioid Response Surveillance Report, 2019).

Workplace Drug Testing Programs are preventative.  Along with a strong Fitness for Work Policy, organizations can improve the health and safety of their most important commodity, their people.
