Drug Abuse in the Workplace

Share This Post

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Safety Council, more than 70% of employers have been impacted by prescription drug abuse in the workplace. About 41% of employers fail to test for synthetic opioids when testing employees for other drugs. Opioid abuse and addiction is becoming more common because of its addictiveness and high risk of overdosing. Surprisingly, the majority of employers are willing to help their employees return to work following treatment, yet 65% of employers agree that drug abuse is a justifiable reason to fire an employee. It is essential for employers to have a comprehensive drug-free workplace policy in place, proper training on how to identify signs of employee drug misuse and a fully integrated drug test device that detects illicit drugs and prescription drugs abuse.

Recommended products for drug testing in the workplace are the 12 panel and 5 panel drug test cups.

DrugTestKitUSA Payments built in partnership with Stripe

Security at Stripe: Learn how Stripe handles security.

A PCI-certified auditor has audited Stripe. We’re a certified PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, we use the best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security at Stripe.

HTTPS and HSTS for secure connections

Stripe forces HTTPS for all services using TLS (SSL), including our public website and the Dashboard to ensure secure connections:

  • Stripe.js is served only over TLS.
  • Stripe’s official libraries connect to Stripe’s servers over TLS and verify TLS certificates on each connection.

We regularly audit the details of our implementation, including the certificates we serve, the certificate authorities we use, and the ciphers we support. We use HSTS to ensure that browsers interact with Stripe only over HTTPS. Stripe is also on the HSTS preloaded lists for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Sensitive data and communication encryption

All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons can obtain plain text card numbers but can request that cards are sent to a service provider on a static allowlist. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in a separate hosting environment, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services including our API and website.
