Drug-Free
Workplace
Drug
abuse in the workplace dropped nationwide in 1999 to the lowest level in
eleven years. Still, more than two-thirds of substance abusers are employed
and nearly five percent of six-million workplace drug tests a year report
positive. Bottom line is that employees who abuse substances COST YOU time
and money.

managers called the Resident Managers Support System (RMSS) supports
positive family activities and holds the line against tenants who deal or
use drugs. RMSS advises owners and property managers in techniques
