At the end of the day its a Health and Safety issue. If a 'responsible person' considers that being under the influence (drugs or alcohol) is a H&S risk they have the responsibility to remove the risk.That's very simple and the essence of H&S legislation. I don't think other considerations such as ethics or the moral high ground outweigh the sensibility of a risk assessment....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
