Currently Speaking on 10 Reasons Why a Drug Testing Policy Needs to Be Updated Regularly

In this episode of Currently Speaking, Bill Current explains why regularly updating your drug testing policy is essential to maintaining a safe, compliant, and effective drug-free workplace program. Drawing on findings from Current Consulting Group’s 2025 employer survey, Bill discusses how employers measure the return on investment of drug testing and why most organizations continue to view it as a highly effective tool for promoting workplace safety, improving hiring quality, reducing legal risks, and supporting compliance. Bill then outlines 10 key reasons employers should review and update their policies on a regular basis, including increasing marijuana and fentanyl use, emerging drugs of abuse, drug use during and before work, rising post-accident positivity rates, rapidly changing state marijuana laws, new testing methods such as oral fluid testing, upcoming DOT oral fluid testing regulations, and shifting company priorities. He also adds an eleventh reason: business expansion into additional states, each with its own legal requirements. If it has been more than a year since your company last reviewed its policy, this episode provides a compelling case for why now is the time to make sure your program reflects current laws, regulations, and workplace realities.
