Hello all
At the moment our substance misuse policy states that if an employee is referred to OH, they follow a set proceedure. This proceedure includes "possible in-house random testing for a period of up to 3 to 6 months duration whilst under voluntary support programmes". The employee can consent or refuse to "undertake the drug and alcohol screening / rehabilitation programme / proceedure.
Our (new) OHP is not happy re any random testing and has said that they are going to re-write the policy to exclude any random testing. I'm not sure whether that's such a good idea, but that's just me perhaps.
Please can you say whether it's a good idea to remove OH randomly testing where indicated or not?
Best wishes,
S :-)
