We would like to have an agreement on record which all employees are required to sign, then want to know how to enforce it, i.e. testing and options after a positive result returns from lab.

A written policy is very good idea, however you must follow it once you put it place because it is a double edged sword that can be used against the company.
1. have a person who works in substance abuse counseling give you an idea about testing proceures and costs. In addition levels and substances should be discussed. 2. Evaluate the hazards in your industry and talk with your insurance carriers about discounts for approved programs. 3. Outline what your objectives are with respect to the company policy. 4. Find an employment lawyer to help you draft the policy from your outline. 5. When you present the policy, offer a nominal consideration for acceptance and make sure the employees and management understand the policy. 6. Follow the policy to the letter. |
