Quote:basically to prevent the prosecution of employers most people would be willing to compromise their civil liberties?This is a slightly perverse perspective on the issue, as my motive is simply to avoid harm that could arise as a result of impeded capability due to intoxication. But if the issue was employer culpability, I would have thought the operation of an effective zero tolerance policy restricts that line of defence in the event of an accident, ie a record of testing protects both employer and employee. A prosecution could then focus more firmly on attributes related to percieved shortcomings in the workplace.
