As much as we think things have shifted some things stay the same, or so we assume. As our title says, assume nothing.
We hope to answer several critical questions, some of which have been posted to our clinic partner – Physicians Health Center, like:
What about doing Drug Testing or Post-offer Physicals during COVID19 – Can we still do them? How? Is it safe?
One of our recurring questions: Can we add COVID19 testing to the drug or pre-employment testing process? NO – you can’t. But I digress.
This webinar answers critical questions about Drug Testing, Physicals, and DOT Compliance during COVID19, questions like:
• What happens if the employee is due for a DOT Drug test or physical during COVID19 can we still send them for the test?
• If the employee doesn’t want to go for the DOT drug test today – will he or she be ready to return to work when we do?
• If the employee is on furlough or was laid off – do we have to retest them when we resume operations?
• Do we need to provide masks and gloves to employees who are going in for drug testing?
• How do we handle post-offer drug testing when we are working remotely? Can an employee delay their testing until we are back operational (but we want to have him or her to start working now)?
• What happens if we can’t do the random drug testing because everyone is on quarantine do I still get my drug free workplace credit?
• What if I can’t get my DOT Drug screenings done on time due to COVID19 do I get an extension?
• What if the employee claims that they got COVID19 after we sent them for random drug testing? Yikes, (maybe we can’t answer this one)
