OSHA’s Drug Testing Policy Update

OSHA recently stated that blanket post-injury drug testing policies deter proper reporting, but that drug testing in compliance with state law requirements would not be prohibited. This new caveat has created a bit of confusion regarding when to test and how to document the reasons for doing so. We recommend you take a look at your state laws for drug testing and address post work-injury drug testing on a case-by-case basis in accordance with your state’s laws.
