OK peeps... as has been rightly pointed out to me... this is a serious issue which has been allowed to drift.
Lets get some things clear...
The use anything that impairs your ability on site is dangerous (not only for you but others) This can range from a pint at lunchtime to cannabis or even some cough medicines. If it impairs you... don't do it.
The debate about drug use is interesting in itself, but lets remember what the law says... if you use/supply/carry drugs of any form, then you are breaking the law. (as it stands in the UK)
The issue for this thread was the compulsorary testing for drugs and alchohol and if this was a breach of human rights... many people who would pass easily would still not agree to it as it is a dangerous precident.
So now we know where BAJR stands, and where this thread should go... can we get back on track?
thanks
Another day another WSI?
