Employee Alcohol & Drug Testing Kits
Alcohol and Drug Testing for Workers
Logging drivers will have an alcohol and drug testing within this year, but this will be a rigorous one because one of these drivers was killed in an accident and marijuana was found in his blood.
Of the 20 action items in the initiative is a recommendation to develop pre-qualification standards.
B.C. Forest Safety Council TruckSafe project manager Mary Anne Arcand said alcohol and drug testing will be part of this.
“The SAFE Companies initiative is starting with pilots this spring and will be fully implemented by 2007. Then the drug and alcohol piece is going to have to work in with that.” However, it is going to be an uphill struggle implementing mandatory testing, she said. (continues below...)

“Moving from first introducing the idea to actually getting it in place is not going to be easy.”
In order to make the changes mandatory there will have to be regulation changes, she said, adding human rights and training for testing will be factors in the debate.
Although testing is far from across the board, Arcand pointed to some companies, such as international forest products company Weyerhaeuser, who test their own drivers.
“They entered into an agreement with the union for this and they have four test points.”
These are pre-employment, post-incident, random testing in addition to criteria for suspicion of impairment.
This will be one of the models looked at in the implementation of the SAFE initiatives in which contractors and mills will be asked to share the responsibility, she said.
