State Testing Policy
Wisconsin law allows employers to implement drug testing programs for their employees. This includes preemployment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing.
*Remember, establishing robust documentation is a key risk mitigant for employers in states like Wisconsin.
West Virginia defines safety-sensitive positions as those involving duties that directly affect the safety of government employees, the general public, or positions with access to controlled substances.
Employers must handle test results confidentially and avoid disclosing them to unauthorized individuals. Additionally, the drug testing process itself should be conducted in a manner that respects employee dignity and privacy.
