Is not true at all.
Lots of people take recreational drugs at the weekend and have absolutely no issue holding down a job!
Which is why you inform them of medication that affects your ability to do do your duties, or those you are legally required to report.
We have a list of medical conditions that must be reported if diagnosed and any employee found to contravene those regulations is liable to disciplinary and in some cases legal action.
Basically if the medication affects your ability to drive/operate machinery or is listed or prescribed for one of the medical conditions proscribed by your licensing terms then you are legally and contractually required to report it to your manager.
There is no debate. It is the law.

So add me to your block list you just hate to see opinions. Not my problem neither do I care.
Can you prove this? If I knew who was doing it I would never trust them again.
Impossible. If any illegal matter were to enter or effect your body you would instantly become permanently cabbaged and undesirable. There's no scientific evidence to support this, but it is a fact.
I feel bad for the people that are just walking down the street and happen to catch a whiff of smoke from a joint. Innocent dog walkers, business folk collecting a newspaper, instantly reduced to the stakes of a bum. For why?, why dear god.. Why..
Ours castiel is as easy as manager logging onto a website and typing drug name in and hitting print. It takes seconds. You then follow any restrictions, which for most jobs/drugs is nothing. You carry this print off, while you are on the drug.
Indeed, in some cases they are. Doesn't make it right though.
They could end up much the same as tobacco and alcohol are currently, but there are plenty of people out there producing and selling tobacco and alcohol illegally, I don't see why that would change.
Don't get me wrong, the more sensible pro legalisation comments in this thread do have some merits, at least in theory. But knowing what I know, and having seen the things I have, I don't for a second think it would work in the real world. And fortunately, those responsible for law making in this country agree with me.
No, I just hate to see yours. Let's look at one of these opinions..
See, that's an idiots opinion. I can't put it any other way.
You would permanently distrust a person for smoking a joint at some point in their lives. You must have a really really narrow cross section of people that you can actually involve yourself with.
You do not have to do that. The prescribing Doctor will tell his patient about restrictions and then it is the legal responsibility of the employee to inform his manager of those restrictions.
In our industry there is a lot of statutory regulations that must be adhered to both by the employer and employee, the ability and competence of the employee to complete his duties remains the employees responsibility. This includes prescription drugs, medical conditions, mental/emotional state, general heath and anything that may compromise the safety of themselves and the public.

I don't have a have a problem ish with what drugs people take in there own time but if it's still in their system when they come to work it can lead to the safety of other being jeopardised.
I suppose I'm not really taking about an office environment, I mean jobs like scaffholders etc or working with heavy machinery.

So go ahead just add me on the block list one extra person for me to see winging from.
Why is it an idiots opinion? So your calling me an idiot are you? So you would let a doctor operate on you, or a dentist for example who from the night before was on E.... thought not.
so i have a 2 weeks away from my job and the first week sees me on a lads trip to amsterdam where after a night of clubbing i end up in a cafe smoking 'drugs' . the second week off work sees me back at home doing all the jobs i need to do a round the house , no drugs. not even any after effects of the drugs
2 months later i get 'random' drug tested and fail.
how is this illegal and how is it hampering my performance or endangering lives/safety ?

Nope never touched one illegal drug, for the simple fact I see too many lives destroyed. I said in a post that I had a friend died from E and my aunties first bf died from E too.
Assuming it's prescribed and what duties need to be restricted. Also much harder with drug mixes. This is a simple solution which works well and removes the need for a manager to know about drugs and the effects.
