drug tests at work

[AHarvey]

Hi everyone,

I work in industry that attracts a lot of dossers, and several of them insist on smoking weed while at work.

I know this, other people have told me as much but proving it or catching them in the act is impossible.

Does anyone know anything about introducing random drug tests? Do you have to give a warning or can you do them on the spot?

Thanks for all the feedback people, I've passed this on to my boss and he can discuss it with HR.

I work for an online gambling company looking after the chat room moderators and customer support workers to the person that asked

As for the contracts, we've just had a massive restructuring and we all need new contracts so it would be quite easy to write any drugs testing in to it at this point.

I've got nothing against people doing this stuff in their private life, as long as it doesn't effect others. But when you have to deal with people on drugs at work it drives the rest of us mad, and isn't ideal for a customer facing role!
