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.

The WC carrier would have the right to intervene into the third party claim to subrogate for the payments they make.
