abstract="The relationship between drug testing and OSHA recordable accident and illness rates was examined over a 5 year period at 48 Wisconsin business facilities. Ordinary least squares regression results indicated that the 12 locations that installed a drug testing program during this period did not experience a significant reduction in accident and illness rates compared to the 36 nontesting facilities. A pooled time series regression analysis was conducted with the 12 drug testing facilities to examine the impact of post-accident and reasonable cause drug testing strategies. The results showed that post-accident drug testing was significantly related to a decrease in accident and illness rates compared to the pretesting period and to facilities using only preemployment testing. Contrary to our hypothesis, reasonable cause drug testing was not significantly related to the change in facility accident and illness rates.<p />",
