August 2008: Southern Ohio Glass had their second annual drug education workshop.

Why be a drug-free workplace?

 -Productivity — Substance users are 33 percent to 50 percent less productive.

 -Absenteeism — Users are absent an average of three weeks or more per year and are tardy three times more often than non-users.

 -Accidents — Users are three to four times more likely to have an accident on the job and five times more likely to file a workers’ compensation claim.

 -Medical claims — Substance users file 300 percent to 400 percent more costly medical claims.

 -Employee theft — An estimated 50 percent to 80 percent of all pilferage, theft and loss is due to substance-using employees.

At Southern Ohio Glass we educate, test for & have no tolerance for alcohol or drug use.
