Alcohol Testing

Alcohol, which is classified as a drug, is made up of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. The chemical component of alcoholic beverages, ethanol, is a classified as a depressant, though in early stages of intoxication, ethanol acts as a stimulant. Alcohol is the most commonly abused drug in the United States. It contributes to more accidents, illness and death than all other drugs combined.

Alcohol is a depressant that reduces activity in the central nervous system. An alcohol intoxicated person exhibits loose muscle tone, loss of fine motor coordination and impaired judgment.

In the workplace, alcohol affects a person’s production and causes them to miss more work days. A person under the influence puts themselves and others at risk for injury. In addition, alcohol abusers file more workmen’s compensation claims than substance-free employees. Studies have shown that employees impaired by alcohol are responsible for an estimated 45 percent of all workplace injuries.

Star Systems offers Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT) using Evidential Breath Testing devices (EBTs) to measure the amount of alcohol in an employee's blood (Alcohol transfers from blood to the breath deep in the lungs). Utilized in compliance with Reasonable Suspicion guidelines, your company can tackle alcohol abuse and reduce its affects on your workplace.
