Why do we insist on having a drug free working environment?

The use of drugs can open the door for a lot of safety hazards.  

Our employees operate a lot of heavy equipment and machinery including driving work vehicles on a daily basis.

We repeatedly handle priceless possessions that belong to our customers. 

Our customers entrust us with valuables that they hold near and dear to their hearts.  We want to do our best to keep their possessions, at the very least, in the condition we received it in but ultimately restore it to be better-quality considering our line of work it so restore to preloss condition and make it “Like it never even happened."

While operating equipment and heavy machinery as well as handling valuable possessions that belong to our customers, SERVPRO of Charlottesville crew members need to be fully alert and engaged while working.  Abstaining from the use of drugs and alcohol is just one way we help to uphold this.
