This session will focus on issues related to testing for drug and alcohol use. While we can discuss employer plans that JATCs encounter, we will begin by focusing on the ALLIANCE’s Model Substance Abuse Policy and Program for JATCs. We will consider: why we test; who we test and under what circumstances; what drugs we test for; what testing procedures we use; what safeguards we put in place to protect worker dignity and privacy rights; and the consequences of testing positive. We will also discuss current problems being encountered with testing, such as on-site “quick” tests, and how to deal with them.
