What companies need to understand is that the money saved from drug testing outweighs the cost of implementing these tests. Considering the cost of a drug test, Cholakis and Bruce realize that urinalysis costs $150 per test. Furthermore, according to Cholakis and Bruce's research, it concludes, “the return on investment on an effective drug testing program is on average 100 times the cost of the program.” By analyzing these two factors, companies can see how investing in a drug testing program can bring financial benefits over time. One of the ways drug testing helps financially over time is by reducing the amount of workers' compensation claims. Cholakis and Bruce's research on a highway contractor reports the following statistics: In the year before implementing the more vigilant safety program, the company had received 19 compensation claims from reportable workers. The following year, only seven requests were submitted, three in the second year and none in the third year (Figure 1). The contractor's director of safety and human resources attributes the decline in claims to lower drug use on the job, driven by the use of on-site drug testing. “The tests have become less complicated,” says the director. “Before, it was a matter of having to have a bathroom available, fumbling with a test cup and dealing with disposal items.” This contractor handles the pre-employment, post-incident and reasonable suspicion phases
