Should all employees be tested pre-employment?
Mysafetycoach.ca recommends that employees be ‘drug and alcohol’ tested pre-access (for particular job or worksite), post incident and on reasonable grounds. It’s important that employees are notified pre-employment that compliance with the Drug & Alcohol Standard is required as a condition of employment. Employers are also responsible to provide education on Drug & Alcohol Policy as well as information on where to seek assistance if they have a substance abuse problem.
