The High Stakes of Marijuana Use in the Construction Industry​

The percentage of employees who tested positive for marijuana following an on-the-job accident reached a 25-year high in 2022. With expanded legalization contributing to increased recreational use, how can high-risk industries adapt their policies to keep employees safe?​

 
"German researchers affiliated with the University of Munich surveyed 128 opioid use disorder patients receiving OMT. Forty-one percent of respondents reported using cannabis. Of those, 59 percent said that they did so “to suppress cravings for other [controlled] substances.” Thirty-nine percent said they used cannabis “to suppress opioid withdrawal symptoms.”

Poses significant dangers

Does marijuana use pose dangers in construction?

Marijuana use in the construction industry poses significant dangers due to its impairment effects on sensory perception, memory, motor coordination, and judgment. These impairments can lead to accidents and injuries, especially when operating heavy machinery or working on elevated platforms. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that employees who test positive for marijuana have 55% more industrial accidents, 85% more injuries, and 75% more absenteeism compared to those who test negative.
Employers in the construction industry must navigate the complexities of marijuana laws, balancing safety standards with employee rights. The potential for federal reclassification of marijuana as a Schedule III drug could change drug testing policies, but current practices require a drug-free workplace, especially for high-risk industries like construction. Employers should implement comprehensive drug policies and consider real-time impairment testing to ensure workers are safe and alert on job sites.
