Drug and Alcohol testing

Post by WelshBlueShirt »

Has this come in anywhere yet ?

Does anyone know the process for it ?

Are they random spot checks, or can they be requested to come into an office ?

We've not been given much detail. But then again we never get any details of anything off our managers.

It's not random; they do it if they suspect you're under the influence. You'll then be taken to a room, and whoever does the testing will be summoned. There's a 6 month amnesty - with some agreed exemptions - if you test positive. Support should then be offered, as opposed to any disciplinary action.
