sneakyfrog posted:is this a benign question or haw haw haw im building a tesla suit question? Mostly benign, I suppose.

What I'd been thinking over is, say... someone on Hepatitis C medication. Announcing that you take something like Interferon would admit to having the disease. The cause and effect is your employer firing you(but they wouldn't cite the medical problem as a reason of firing in a right to work state) due to their own safety concerns. --Hypothetically, of course! I could just be over thinking the debate in my head. Papa Emeritus III fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Yeah any Benzos or other sedatives could really cause trouble. On the other hand Benedryl will gently caress you up way worse than Diazepam so it's hard to say where to draw the line without a specific list of medications. Hell I have severe ADD and taking 20mg or amphetamine or 5mg of methamphetamine will make me fall asleep standing up because of the weird paradoxical reactions involved.

Yeah like I'm sure 99% of people wouldn't know that putting someone on Seroquel on a forklift isn't a good idea because it's not a common sedative despite being incredibly widely prescribed.

I told her that her question was against HIPPA policy. No, it's not. HIPAA is a set of regulations binding on companies who handle health care records. Like medical insurance companies, health care providers, health care billing systems, and so forth. It doesn't prevent random people from asking you questions about your medical history, and doesn't prevent you from answering them. HIPAA tasks certain people in certain industries with protecting personally identifiable health information; it is not a set of blanket rules that applies to every single person. If you don't want to answer her question, then "That's none of your business" is a good answer. HIPAA has nothing to do with it. The ADA probably does, however. quote:Then she cited that OSHA needs to ensure their metalworkers don't have anything in their system that would hinder safety. If that's what it's about, then they're sure as hell not going to rely on the say-so of those metalworkers.

The two things don't have anything to do with each other. She's making stuff up. OSHA doesn't mandate that employees disclose their prescribed medications to employers. The ADA likely prohibits her question in the first place, unless your position affects public safety and the drugs she's asking about affect your ability to properly perform your job functions. She can't just ask "What prescription medications are you on? If you are in a position affecting public safety, then she can ask "Are you taking any prescription opiates?" Or tranquilizers, or other things that could lead to you dropping a welding torch off a building or a bridge onto passersby. Phanatic fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jul 18, 2017 |

To cover my rear end, I did go to the safety manager(the guy who watched that forklift driver Klaus video with me) and asked him about the policies and I also told him, in private, what I take. He just rolled his eyes and said I was fine and that my boss is just neurotic. The fact I'd discussed things with him bit me in the rear end, however. She got all defensive and sent me home early today. I haven't had a day off since July 3rd, so its cool.

Wouldn't they only drug-test for "street drugs"? You have to know what you're looking for first and test for that, you can't just do a piss test and "test" it for every drug out there that could possibly affect your ability to do the job right.

Most standard drug tests will detect stims, benzos and opioids anyway because tons of people abuse prescription meds.

For what it's worth; I take my monthly drug tests there with no issue. I tend to do a menagerie of jobs for this factory. On one day, I'll be a machinist/metalworker, on another I'm an auditor, and on other I poke the robots to make sure they operate correctly. I'm in the division of quality control, which is a skeleton crew at best. We tend to be the most hated division in the factory due to the fact we can shut machines down, which hurts the quota of machinists, so we have to behave with this whole.... "BE A ROLE MODEL" type of character. I'm assuming my boss just had best intentions in mind but was crossing the line with me. Oh, and thanks for explaining the difference between HIPPA and ADA. It's all going into my breadbasket now.

When I was on probation, the tests I took were for everything from benzos, to meth, to K2(spice), and all opiates. However, I'm sure that's a different spectrum of normal protocol for a factory drug test.

I was in the process of trying to score a new contract (I'm self-employed IT), and had to have some cardiac surgery performed (I was in the step-down ICU when I was doing phone interviews). The new client, being a government contractor, insisted on a background check, and drug test. I said fine, but "you will most definitely find opioids due to the surgery", as, at the time, I was on a fentanyl push, hydrocodone, and tramadol. Took the test, and not a word was said. Been working the contract now for six weeks. Of course, I haven't had any of the "good stuff" for six weeks either.

Even if it was PVC, you're still talking 1014 ohms/cm There'll be an MSHA fatalgram shortly, so I guess we'll find out. Overhead power lines are a mother. People always forget to look up. Last place I worked a guy was carrying a bunch of strapped poo poo with a zoom boom and the straps were way longer than they needed to be so the boom was way higher than usual and he plowed straight into some overhead lines. No injuries, luckily. He snapped one of the power poles though.

Papa Emeritus III posted:Indeed. Sad to say, I'm used to it. The 9 panel is generally too pricey for most recurring testing circumstances and is usually a mandate by some stick up their rear end suit. Or reserved for post accident tests. The screener is slightly more complicated but positives still go for a GC follow-up. They can go really into the deep end and GC everything all the time and get a snapshot of every sort of metabolite but it's just really dumb for the value of the result.

I wonder if including a drug screening report for a job interview is common? "Here's my C.V. / Resume, plus my current in-date First Aid certificate, my up to date certificate proof of non contagious diseases, and a 10 panel blood test report."

They would just make you still take a drug test through their own contracted company. Unless the business has a relationship with the testing company, it's just a note from mommy that says, "Ak Gara is a nice boy please excuse him from drug testing"
