Policy Requirements
When a company is screening existing personnel, it is essential that the organisation has the underlying policies and procedures in place in the event an employee tests positive.
For new or potential employees, it is essential that organisations advise of their intention to screen for drugs and alcohol at the interview stage and they must outline the implications of testing positive.
