1 million Britain employees 'drugged' at work

London, July 2: More than one million people in Britain will work with the drug remains in your system, a study suggests.

The figures of a company drug testing has revealed that about one in 30 employees tested in the past year's work had taken drugs, with the most commonly used drugs are cannabis, opiates and cocaine, the Daily Mail reported .

Drug use among employees was up 43 percent since 2007, reaching 3.23 percent of the workforce last year.

The police officer country's most senior businessmen told earlier this year to consider introducing regular compulsory drug testing as a condition of employment.

Bernard Hogan-Howe, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said many workers are working rich on paper, including surgeons, teachers and drivers, where cocaine use risk their lives.

The latest figures come from an analysis of 1.7 million tests carried out by the company Concateno of 856 UK employers, including public transport companies, freight carriers and emergency services.

"These are conservative figures when you consider how many companies do not have a screening program in place," said lab director Dr. Claire George.

The latest study found that the age group most likely to test positive for Class A drugs were 25 to 34 years old - not less than 25 years - because they were likely to have greater access to disposable income .
