Drug Testing

Pre-Employment DRUG TESTING is Coming ...

 

Drug & Alcohol Testing exists now and is applied to where the employer having Reasonable Cause can demonstrate bona fide occupational requirements in Safety Sensitive Positions and cross border driving.

 

 

What is Reasonable Cause?

 

For the past couple of years, the focus has turned to what constitutes "reasonable cause". Industry has been taking liberties where almost anything could result in reasonable cause testing, particularly in the construction sector. 

 

 

What is a Safety Sensitive Posotion?

 

Currently, companies exclusively determine what constitutes a 

safety-sensitive position. Part of the equation, by the policies own parameters, is the lack of direct supervision. Human Rights decisions have declared that direct supervision does have an impact as to whether or not a position should be considered safety-sensitive.

 

More companies are initiating employment Drug Testing policies within their companies in anticipation of upcoming legislation.
