Is your workplace drug free?

Illegal drugs are used every day by 220,000 adults in England & Wales.  A further 800,000 people use drugs every week.  Another 1.8 million acknowledge taking a banned substance at least once a year.  That brings the total number of drug users to around 2.8 million people, or one in 12.
