WHAT'S TRENDING

THE VALUE OF BREATH TESTING

Growing cannabis legalization is leading to increased cannabis use within the workforce.

Over the past five years (2017-2021), positivity rates in marijuana urine tests in the U.S. general workforce increased by 50 percent.¹

More than ever, employers have an obligation to help ensure workplace safety. Yet, traditional tests for oral fluid, urine, and hair can’t isolate recent cannabis use associated with the workday. As such, results from these tests may not be relevant, or worse – may jeopardize employee fairness and privacy by reflecting use that occurred days, weeks, or months prior.

"Today I had to fire my best shift manager. He told me he used marijuana last week but there was an incident, and the test was positive. I still believe that his marijuana use wasn’t the reason for the incident, but I had to follow the policy."

"Every month, I’m down one person due to a positive drug test result. And the cost to replace an employee is $10K when recruitment, onboarding, and training costs are considered."
