Workplace Drug Testing Policies

Workplace drug testing policies are rules set by employers to test employees for illegal substances or certain medications. These policies aim to ensure a safe and productive work environment by preventing drug use on the job. Tests may occur before hiring, randomly during employment, or after accidents. Employees are usually informed about the policy beforehand, including what substances are tested for and the consequences of a positive result. These policies balance the need for safety and productivity with respects for privacy and compliance with legal regulations.
