This is going to get interest over the next couple of years when it
comes to marijuana.
Many places are looking to legalize for recreational use.
The problem is testing and liability. Lots of systems will have to change.
For instance, there is currently no good known method to tell if someone
is under the influence of marijuana other than a field sobriety test,
and even those can be argued in court (if my understanding of this is
correct, I just talked to a local detective yesterday while getting
fingerprinted for a state security clearance).
Billy Bob comes into work in Anchorage, AK or Denver, CO. Goes through
his day, everything is fine. He sits in is van at a stop light waiting
for the light to turn green, and BAM... rear end collision from some
a-hole behind him. Many company policies will force him to go get drug
tested. He fails the test for marijuana, yet it is legal in the state
and there was no way to tell if he was under the influence at the time
of the incident.

If you are asking about the mechanics of having the testing done, you
hire a local company that specializes in the whole thing. They choose
who needs to come in and they do the tests. All you have to do is to
tell the employee when and were to report. And yeah, there is clean
pee out on the market that even comes with its own little heater
packet to get it up to body temp. I had no idea until we found some
on our company vehicles.
I also didn’t know until just now that hair sample testing was
available. Be good to tell them all you do hair sample testing even
if you don’t. I do regret firing one kid that took a hit off of a
joint at his birthday party. I really don’t think he was a druggie
but I wrote the manual, I made the policy, and I let him go when he
pissed dirty. So think this through carefully before you pull the
trigger. If I had to do it again, I would make an exception for pot.
(Not tobacco though...)

Hi,
How do one go about implementing random drug testing for
installer/employee?
How many people do this?
Thanks,
Tushar
