Make Your Company a Drug Free Workplace

Of the 203,000+ companies that have employees in the State of Georgia, less than 4% have taken advantage of Georgia law O.C.G.A. 34-9-410.

This law, in effect since 1993, has saved more than 7,000 companies in Georiga an average of $5,000 per year. That's a $70,000 savings per company since the law was enacted. One Georgia company recently saved $100,000 in the first year by taking advantage of this pro-employer law.

GA. Law O.C. G. A. 34-9-410 mandates a 7.5% discount on workers' compensation insurance for State Certified Drug Free Workplaces in Georgia. For a company with 100 employees, this discount results in an average savings of $5,000 per year on workers comp insurance.

Additionally, implementing a Drug Free Workplace program:

• Increases productivity
• Reduces absenteeism and tardiness
• Cuts workers comp claims in half
• Lowers medical costs by 300%
• Increases overall workforce morale
• Cuts turnover rates
• Reduces theft and other forms of crime in the workploace

All of these factors positively impact a company's bottom line.

The Effingham County Chamber of Commerce is a proud participant in Georgia's Drugs Don't Work program. DDW is here to assist your company for the state mandated 7.5% discount on worker's comp insurance.

Certification is Quite Affordable and Yields Big Dividends

Certification is a simple 5 step process. The total cost to your company will be about 10% of your workers' comp discount, (i.e. If your 7.5% savings equals $5,000, total cost to implement the program will be less than $500).

Do you know any business owner who would not invest $500 to save $5,000 annually?
