I feel I have little or no control over what they chose to do with that information, and it is difficult to find out. I am fed up of being asked at inductions for my NI number and other personal information - surely this is my employer's responsibility and not that of the company running the site? If random testing was carried out by my employer, surely that would also fit better into a clear company drugs/alcohol policy, which the main contractor could then satisfy themselves was in place?
I think this is indeed the nub of it... The company should have a drugs policy
its not hard.... here is a template

So if you are a company and you don't have one... jsut download and find and replace.
If you are subject to testing, then ask the company for a copy of their policy...
