Drug Testing In The Workplace

I had this former fellow worker who had been moving from one job to another not to look for better employment opportunity. He simply kept on moving because he was tested positive to prohibited drugs. It was a great trouble indeed, but I just shrugged my shoulders off because I am not into this kind of health threatening vice. I pity him, but there was nothing I could do than advise him to quit it. I personally believe that using prohibited drugs does not only impair physical health. It also affects the mental state of users.

This situation may surely yield to certain complications especially in the office or workplace. The effects of drugs may leave impacts on the users' performance and eventually ruin their reputations. I have nothing against drug testing through a random manner in the office or workplace. This will ensure general safety of the employees and their superiors as well. My company has just done a few rounds of drug tests and few workers tested positive. Alas! They got fired right away. There are different methods of drug testing available such as urine, hair, saliva, sweat or spray and drug identification kits.
