Effectiveness of random drug and alcohol screening as an intervention for occupational injury prevention

Description

Several different approaches and interventions have been utilized to mitigate the occupational risk from alcohol or drug-related impairment. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review to determine whether one approach - randomly choosing workers to be tested for alcohol and drugs - helps make workplaces safer, or whether there is not enough evidence to say. The study was funded by a grant from the OHS Futures Research Funding Program.
