How will a change in cannabis laws affect your workplace??
- Will employees be allowed to smoke cannabis before they come to work?
- Will I be able to do pre-employment drug testing?
- Will I be able to do random drug testing?
- Will I be able to test an employee after an accident/incident?
- How will urine testing be affected?
- If I can’t do urine testing, what can I use to test for drugs?
Do you need the answers to any of these questions?
Leading up to the referendum, I am offering to talk through these questions and what best practice could look like for you and your workplace regardless of the referendum outcome.
Gather some colleagues within your industry and together we can discuss what matters to you.

26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
