Drugs Don't Work in Georgia
|
Companies enrolled in the Augusta Metro Chamber's Drugs Don't Work Program earn a 7.5% discount on their workers compensation insurance by being a certified drug-free workplace.
The Chamber has designed a simple and cost-efficient program to help your company implement and maintain a certified drug-free workplace. Enrolled companies agree to drug test new hires and when an incident occurs. Companies are not required to go back and test current employees. No need to change insurance agents or have required limits of liability. Nothing about your company's current set up has to change. The Chamber keeps companies in compliance by sending monthly newsletters for employees to sign and retain in case of an audit.
