I, the undersigned, an applicant for employment with, or an existing employee employed by WSI Enterprises Inc., hereby voluntarily consent to the observed taking of specimens for substance abuse screening as a condition of my initial and/or continued employment with WSI Enterprises Inc. I authorize the release of all results of such screening to WSI Enterprises Inc.
I release WSI Enterprises Inc., the test laboratory, its physicians, nurses, technicians, and any other employees or agents involved with my tests from any and all liabilities, claims, or causes of action relating to such substance abuse screening including, without limitation, those that may result from administering such tests and/or the disclosure of test results.
I understand and voluntarily agree that if WSI Enterprises Inc. asks me to, I will submit to substance abuse screening. I understand that either refusal to submit to the substance abuse screen or a positive result may result in revocation of a conditional offer of employment, or termination of my employment, as applicable.
In the case of a breath alcohol test, I understand and agree that if the breath alcohol test level as determined by the test reflects an illegal level of intoxication, I will be unable to operate a motor vehicle and must use an alternate form of transportation operated by someone other than myself. If I refuse alternative transportation, I understand and agree that law enforcement officials will be notified.
The various forms of substance abuse testing are as follows:
Post accident testing
Testing of an employee who is involved in an on-the-job accident (vehicular or otherwise) which may have involved human error and may have caused a fatality, serious injury, or significant property damage.
Pre-employment testing
A candidate for employment must pass the drug and/or alcohol test as a condition of employment. Testing can be performed as part of the application process (1) before an offer of employment is made, or (2) as a part of the hiring process after an offer of employment is made but before the employee commences work.
Random testing
The testing of employees who are chosen on a "neutral selection" basis without advance notice. True random testing is conducted by pooling a selected amount of numbers determined by the client from the total number of qualified participants' numbers in the random pool.
Return to duty testing
Employees returning from a leave of absence for sickness or injury exceeding a given number of days can be required to submit and successfully pass a drug and/or alcohol test as a condition of reinstatement.
Reasonable suspicion or cause testing
The "cause" required is an objective, factual, individualized basis for testing, such as when an employee's observed behavior or physical appearance suggests drug and/or alcohol use or possession of drugs and/or alcohol.
