Workplace Safety, Risks and Random Drug Testing

Workplace safety is a huge issue and one bad accident can cost someone their life, cause catastrophic injury and/or cost the company or corporation millions of dollars. It is for this reason that many employers have instituted mandatory and random drug testing, as a deterrent to workers using illegal drugs that could affect their judgment or attention to detail when operating equipment or doing dangerous tasks. The unions and the ACLU wish to stop the mandatory drug testing calling it degrading, insulting, and unfair.
