In many religions, people were made from mud. It is not just a Christian religious belief, but one which pervades many different religions the world over. The idea that human hands originally came from dirt is one of great significance. It is really important to not be swayed by too much sterility in this world, for washing away dirt from our hands is washing away our past.

This is the same reason why recovering alcoholics or drug addicts shouldn’t try to sterilize or get rid of their past. Their past is what made them who they are today, and that is really important for people who need to remember the good parts of who they are. When we are looking for redemption, we will easily find it in the simplest of pieces of salvation. That is why forgetting our drug induced or alcoholic past is not really a solution to the problem. People need to be able to look at their dirty, messy, chaotic roots, see them, accept them, and use them to dig deeper into the human experience which is called life.

At CMM Technology, we believe that your workers may or may not be abusing illicit substances while at work. The question is ...
... not whether they are or not, but how many and who it is. You see, even in the healthiest environments, our pasts, if ignored long enough, can reach up from the ground and pull us back to our ancestral earthy roots.

That is why CMM Technology has drug test equipment, alcohol test, and even a breathalyser recalibration service which is accredited by NATA. We know that it is important to know what your employees have been doing regarding their drug and alcoholic behavior in the workplace itself. Anything outside of that is not your domain, but this job, this workplace, and this office are yours. As the steward of the business, you must make the best decisions for the good of all of your employees, and that means having a plan in place for when someone has unacceptable drug test or alcohol test results.
