Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I work for one of those Electricity companies, and we have random testing. Both drugs and alcohol. Don't know anyone who has been tested, and never heard of anyone been given the shove either. It's only going to get worse i'm afraid, soon wont be able to fart indoors. Just had a guy at work get a 6,000v belt and live to tell the tail, so the sh*ts gonna hit the fan over that. I wonder if has been tested ?? I suppose the "stock" answer from the companies will be the "If you've done nothing wrong, then you've got nothing to worry about" sh*t. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akton 15 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 network rail always do random D&A tests anyone who has ever worked on the railways will know this, plenty of lads who dont smoke anything piss in balloons and give them to lads who use weed,so if they get tested they just get the warm piss from the balloon into the tester... only way to get away from getting sacked 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k9delboy 138 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Why give him leeway on anything. Why should he be allowed to take drugs and operate machinery of any kind ?. I would fire him in a minute if he worked for me. Can you imagine him putting peoples lifes at risk on sites whilst he swans around on his machines. Plain and simple pal, get off the drugs.

MOO 730 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) The Urine test (This was written by an oil rig worker in the North Sea - What he says makes a lot of sense!) I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling contractor. I am required to pass a random urine test for drugs and alcohol, with which I have no problem. ... ... What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque because I have to pass one to EARN IT for them? Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque? Edited October 1, 2011 by MOO 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
henarchchar 64 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 i failed a urine test said i had taken cocaine , started an argument with tester my argument was that i was 42 ,married with three kids 17 stone and way to boring to do any drugs . any way he asked what painkillers i had taken turned out that it was codeine . still never got job apparantly its not the done thing to threaten to make testers drink samples .crap job anyway . by the way if you tell them about codeine when they test you , you get suspended on pay while it goes away so long as thats all you have on you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hate to sound boring but random drugs testing it's a modern day occurrence, so if you want a job or to keep it the only way is to not take the drugs if they do random drugs testing. Let's face it would you want to be working next to someone operating heavy plant that's not 100%? Also if you lost your job due to a failed D/T what's the chances of getting another...? There isn't a way of beating it they can tell if you've had some in the last 28 days and the H&S guy told me they can tell if it was passive or not so the old "I went to a party and come to think of it there was a funny smell" won't wash with them. I would however be seriously pis**d off to fail a D/T for prescribed medication that is just wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keeper 51 78 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hears one for you to remember last year i was working on a blue book site and was pulled in on a random drug test no problem i thought wrong right sir before your test we would like to give you the opportunity to tell us if you have taken anything that you feel may affect this test or if you are on any medication that we should know about :hmm: i don't no weather this will affect you results but as i have a stinking cold i have taken one dose of beechams day nurse non drowsy thank you for telling us this should not be a problem well guess what it is i failed the test i offered to get the bottle of day nurse from the car NO SIR WE HAVE CALLED SECURITY AND YOU WILL BE ESCOURTED OF SITE and will not be allowed to return until the lab returns there findings :icon_eek: before i leave let me tell you something i have never taken drugs in my life ( i know i am a sad b*****d ) someone will have to pay for any time i loose anyway after 7 days they failed to prove i had taken drugs and yes i was paid during my time off and to make sure of my facts before blowing my stack i went to my doctors and explained the situation to him he informed me that a number of over the counter cold remedies could cause positive drug test and the only things he would prescribe while on a blue book site was paracetamol mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Beat a drugs test by putting a bit of fluff or spit in it and stir. Depends how much you want it if you feel like stirring your own piss. Contaminated sample so they won't test it. I don't take drugs but that's how to beat it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know that's all well and good until some poor fecker ends up not going home to his family cause some kid wanted to stay up and get wasted all night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
