Roofies and the Ladies

The roofie, or as it is popularly known, the date rape drug, is often slipped into a woman’s drink by her date before it is given to her. For this reason, many women-empowering advice columns, websites, and books advise women to make sure that they see their drinks coming from the bartender to their table all in one go, and that they do not leave their drinks unattended at any time. Less information is available concerning slipping roofies into food, but it is presumed that the same advice applies to this situation, as well.

One of the ways in which women can be protected is through chaperoning. While this is far less used in today’s modern society, not one hundred years ago saw a lady’s reputation ruined who was caught with another man unescorted by a chaperone. Today, women are seen with far more independence than they were once seen, but the rules still apply. As a woman, you must be very careful how you present yourself in public, who you allow to escort you, and whether or not any connections or friends will be there. This is why workplace drug testing is such a valid practice. Alcohol and drug testing provides protection for employees who only wish to show up to work and get the job done well. Employees who abuse drugs or alcohol are far more likely to hurt others, either on purpose or inadvertently. This is, after all, not prison or the streets. 

Professionalism must be maintained, and people are not allowed to take personal affront to a seeming show of disrespect. You must be able to conform to the guidelines prescribed by civilized society.

Onsite drug & alcohol testing allows your employees to not only participate in drug screening and alcohol testing, but it allows them to do so without even having to leave their workplace. This is a true benefit to employees who feel safe at home and at work. It allows them to be tested without ever having to leave the jobsite. And that, my friend, is another added layer of safety.

Let us keep your male and female employees safe and well protected while they work for your company.
