What can you do?
According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology some 3.9 million workers were using at least one illicit drug while working. The impact of your co-worker using drugs is a problem that extends far beyond him or her. In fact, it puts everyone in danger.
Substance abusers are known to have slower reaction speed. They make more mistakes, and they have higher absenteeism.
What can you do if you know a co-worker is abusing substances?
-Talk to your supervisor in conficence about what you know. Don't approach the co-worker yourself.
-If you suspect that the drug deal is in progress, do not intervene on your own. Contact security or notify the police.
Substance abuse on the job is not something to be taken lightly. It can affect lives.
