April 2022 - Drug Testing in the Workplace

Best practices for drug testing in the workplace:

• Make sure your City has a policy in place before any employee is drug tested

• Review “safety-sensitive” positions – Update job descriptions to ensure safety-sensitive duties and responsibilities are clearly specified

• Do NOT put employees in the random pool that are not safety-sensitive

• Do NOT ask to see an employee’s medical marijuana license

• Use a reputable testing facility

• Keep matters confidential (need to know basis)
