    2. Over all up to 10% of worker age adults (18 yrs or older) abuse drugs, with some industries reporting significantly higher rates. The Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse) reports that of 16.7 million illicit drug users age 18 or older, 12.4 million (74.3 percent) were employed either full or part time. (12.4M / 120M(private/non-government workers) = 10%. In addition, 14.9 million (77 percent) of the 19.4 million adults, age 18 or older, characterized with abuse of or dependence on alcohol or drugs were employed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics analyzed 1998 data from its Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and estimated that 19 percent of the nation's workforce who die on the job test positive for alcohol and other drugs \1\ Weber, W., and Cox, C. ``Work-Related Fatal Injuries in 1998,'' Compensations and Working Conditions, Spring 2001, pp. 27- 29. \2\ Zwerling, C. ``Current practice and Experience in Drug and Alcohol Testing.''

    12. Random Testing Solution Avitar CASE STUDY #1 Illicit Drug Usage Reduced 9x from 7.0% to 0.8% ! Archer Daniels Midland $30B Corporation Like the majority of U.S. corporations, ADM traditionally implemented a pre-employment drug testing program that relied on laboratory urine testing services. Senior management realized, however, that pre-employment screening delivered a limited solution to workplace drug abuse. By implementing a corporate-wide Avitar oral-based random drug testing program, ADM, a $30B+ U.S. manufacturing company, reduced employee illicit drug usage from a 7% positive rate to less than 1%. Key elements of the ongoing drug free workplace program which covered all levels of the organization, include a centrally managed drug testing program, an effective communications program, and a comprehensive intranet-based management / reporting software system. Using available industry data, ADM is realizing an estimated $17M annual ROI.

    13. The experiences of Gould Construction, a Colorado based heavy equipment and highway contractor, clearly demonstrate the direct relationship between drugs-of-abuse and accidents within the workplace. Construction is the most dangerous job in America (U.S. DOL), and also has one of the highest drug abuse rates among its workforce, at 25% or more (SAMSHA). By implementing Avitars on-site testing solution, Gould Construction was able to reduce accidents from 19 to 0, and associated workers comp claims, and reduce the Companys Workers Comp premium by 13%. Annual savings to Gould total over $1.5M.
