“Painkiller abuse is a serious and growing problem for American workers, new research reveals.
A December survey conducted by the National Safety Council found that 80 percent of employers in Indiana say they’ve observed an issue with painkillers among their employees — and a whopping 60 percent say they’ve observed some kind of issue with the use of prescription painkillers at work.
