We test pre employment all applicants.

Everyone subject to random testing at any time- mandatory testing after any on the job accident or motor vehicle accident.

2 of us are in the drug consortium drug testing pool for our CDL licenses and subject to test any time.

Plus, I tell everyone that I offer our shop / yard/ vehicles / personal effects as training for the county sheriff drug dogs.

About every other month, my neighbor calls me and says the K-9 is in the area and he comes over and the dog does his thing around our shop and vehicles. This is a great tool.

We do not allow tobacco use at all.

I have a great group of employees. Now I know all the personal freedoms things, but this is my company, I pay the bills and I make the rules with a lot of help form my insurance companies. All our above mentioned activities keep us in a preffered pool of risk and lowers our rates.

Being an almost 50 yo, I lived in the drug culture days. I know the lingo, I know the way people act when stoned / under the influence or a haibitual user. Did it a few times myself back in the day, and partied pretty hard. But there comes a time in life when you got to face life as it is with out being fed up all the time.


You can bet your ass, if there was any kind of accident, some scum bag lawyer is going to dredge up ANYTHING he can to convince a jury in a civil trial, which of course comes with a lot less burden of proof than a criminal trial. I want no part of that.

It has benefited our company a lot, and since we do public projects, we have to have such a program in a lot of cases.
