For-Cause Testing (Reasonable Suspicion Testing)

• Purpose: For-cause testing is performed when an employee exhibits discernible signs of being unfit for duty or engages in unsafe work behavior.
• Triggers: It is triggered by specific incidents, such as erratic behavior, accidents, or performance issues.
• Safety and Well-Being: The primary aim is to protect the safety and well-being of the employee and coworkers.
• Unannounced: Unlike pre-employment testing, for-cause testing is unannounced and occurs when there is a documented reason to suspect drug use.
