Drug Testing Laws and Employment Injuries

Randall G. Kesselring and Jeffrey R. Pittman

Journal of Labor Research, 2002, vol. 23, issue 2, 294-301

Abstract: Employer use of employee drug-screening procedures is widespread in the U.S. A state-by-state analysis of statutory law applicable to the drug testing issue is combined with state and industry data to isolate how drug testing laws affect workplace injury rates. Based on our data, injury rates are not statistically related to the state's legal environment.
