The data shows that in 1996, some 30% of the workplaces included in the survey screened for drugs, while 14% screened for alcohol consumption. With the new results, 16.1% of participating companies reported to screening for drugs and/or alcohol. It was interesting to note that the industries that had the lowest rates of drug testing, which were accommodation and food services, information, entertainment, education, and financial services. On the other hand, the industries that tested far more than other were transportation and warehousing, including the trucking industry which is regulated by the federal government.
