injuried by another worker

[10tattooss]

they said pot. but they have not once yet ask for the doctors names and prescriptions to verify that he is not taking street prescription. they seem to only have focused on that finding and also it was not the lab that called about the findings it was the doctors (workers comp) that called which is not correct. my wife is an hr administrator and the call should have came from the MRO that did the test not the doctor's office.

Sounds like it's possible your employer is looking for a way out before you become a real liability to them through a WC claim. Please get all your chickens in one basket through an attorney and take it from there. None of it sounds on the up and up. I can understand them testing you but I don't understand not testing the employee operating the forklift. Check on the laws to make sure this guy is licensed. BB is right. It then becomes an OSHA problem. Employers don't like them snooping around.


Best of luck,

If You feel that You were Treated Unfairly on Your Test, ask for a Hair Exam. to Test for Drugs. It can Pin-Point even Better the Time Drugs were Used, if any, Based on the Hair growth, and were the Hair Tests Positive. If You were Under the Influence though, I would Leave that Issue alone, and as I stated in My Original Thread, check on the Driver being Certified to Drive the Fork Lift! Best of Luck!!

Limbo...You are brilliant as always. Sorry... I thought it was BB who mentioned being certified.

No they did test the driver of the forklift 5 days after my injury but of course his was fine - could he have been driving that day or night before (possible). But who can prove with them waiting 5 days to test him and this would be his third offense on a forklift. I have a meeting today with the company to see how things are going to play out.

Hi "10". ...... I understood that but my opinion is that if you do a urine test 5 days later you might as well have not done it at all.

Wishing you the best!

Ok, let me say this again. The test is in no ones favor, unless it is done at the time and day of the accident.

Then the real question here is?

Have you smoked Pot?

Had you recently smoke Pot?

Have you smoke Pot with-in 1 week prior the injury?
Or after injury?

There's no need to lie, neither, for I or anyone else can't convict you here.

Why have you not obtain a copy of the Drug Test Report. You are allowed a copy, if being accused. Then you can see the tempature at time the sample was taken. What the full results were.

If you did not smoke Pot, then you must contest the Drug Test right away, and in writting. You must then Dispute it, or forever have it remain on your Record.

Here is what you do, before - During - or After a drug test....

What is the name and address of the lab that will perform the test ?

EXACTY what test or tests are to be used ?

For each test performed, list the type and quantity of specimens required ?

For each test performed, list the percentages for false positive and false negative results.

Provide statistical justification for these percentages.

In the case of a false positive, what are the established procedures for retesting ?

How many times will retesting be permitted ?

What is the established procedures for resolving consistant false positive results ?

What facility is going to extract the specimen(s) ?

How much of each type of specimen is going to be extracted ?

Are the lab and the blood extraction facility bonded ?

What company carries their malpractice insurance and what are their policy numbers ?

EXACTLY what information will be release from the lab to the employer ?

It is required that all results be forwarded to me.
