Hi Folks,
need a bit of support here.
My organisation wants to bring in drug & alcohol testing & I have
reservations. Initially it was to be handled by an outside company leaving
the OH service to remain impartial and free to deal with the fall out &
supporting employees. Now the organisation in their penny pinching wisdom
have said they want it be carried out in house (to save money). I am
against this and feel so strongly that if pushed I will resign. What I am
really looking for is the ethical side & guidance to stop us turning into
the 'Drug & Alchol police' which is highly likeley. Can anyone help?
