Drug Testing

Where the Employer has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the Employee is under the influence of illegal drugs while at work, the Employer may require the Employee to undergo a non-intrusive drug test (a urine test) which will be conducted by a registered medical professional. The testing process followed will be such as to ensure a safe and accurate test.

In deciding whether to conduct a test the Employer shall have regard for any comment by the Employee. On receipt of a positive test the Employer shall discuss the results with the Employee and take into consideration any explanation received before any outcome is decided upon.
