| Abstract |
A questionnaire survey of 6370 employees at 16 corporate work sites examined their support for work-site alcohol testing under three conditions: 65% supported pre-employment testing, 81% supported testing after an accident, and 49% supported random testing. Support was relatively consistent across the hierarchy (managers, supervisors and workers) but varied according to age, education, occupation, type of workforce, and perceived exposure to occupational hazards. Support for testing was highest among blue-collar workers whose jobs involved manufacturing or exposure to work-site hazards. |
