🚨 Reasonable Suspicion Testing Matters
When an employee is suspected of being under the influence, the employer’s next steps are critical.
One common mistake we see:
❌ Allowing the employee to drive themselves to a testing location.
This is a serious liability risk. If the employee is impaired, they could harm themselves, others, or the company’s reputation.
âś… Best practice:
• Keep the employee on-site.
• Arrange safe transportation if testing must be done off-site.
• Partner with a testing provider who understands reasonable suspicion protocols and can respond quickly after hours.
Remember: Proper procedures protect your business, your staff, and the public.
