Drug testing

[CannotBeBothered01]

Does anyone else have drug testing at work? How does it happen?

Here are your statutory rights (quoted from the Gov.uk website)

Drug testing

Employers have to have consent if they want to test for drugs. Usually this is when they have a full contractual health and safety policy, which should be in the contract or staff handbook.

Employers should:

limit testing to employees that need to be tested
ensure the tests are random
not single out particular employees for testing unless this is justified by the nature of their jobs
Workers can’t be made to take a drugs test but if they refuse when the employer has good grounds for testing, they may face disciplinary action.

MNers on here will not want to admit to drug tests at work even on an anonymous website, so your question isn't relevant to finding out the facts, if this is something that affects you.

If it affects a colleague, pass them the above information so they know their rights in employment law terms,
