A refusal to take a drug test is deemed a failed drug test with most companies, especially in construction.

Also, drug tests are not just required by most construction facilities (industrial), they ARE a requirement for insurance. Hence why often you will see CEO's, the owners, and directors being required to take them also. The insurance provider requires them on X% of employees at X intervals, and upon hiring.

Ignoring WC for a minute, refusing the drug test may not affect WC, but the companies insurance provider for the umbrella or future lawsuit /settlement, will deem the refusal as a failure and use that in court to fight any payments.


they need an employee signature on a consent form. love you how go rumbling into umbrella providers and what nots.

speaking of "rumbling"

It is almost a guarantee that if this guy was working for an industrial construction company (sounds like he was), they have a policy and program that he agreed to or signed off on when he hired on.

I was just trying to clarify that the drug test may not mean anything to his WC claims (or it might), but if he decides to actually go after a lawsuit, the drug test could mean everything.
