Do you require a RTW note from the substance abuse provider on details such as completed the program and random testing has been negative? Yes Do you perform drug and alcohol testing? Yes. However we do not have a random program. We only test post offer, post accident, fit-for duty, and EAP referrals (post rehab).
Do you perform unannounced testing on that individual? Yes, all testing is coordinated through our EAP department. They call the person randomly the morning they are to be tested. They must arrive at EH/OH within 30-45mins.
If you do testing is it only for those in safety sensitive positions? as described above What kind of pushback do you get from your hospital leaders about violation of the ADA or FMLA when you perform testing? none We all know that current drug or alcohol use is not protected under the ADA; however, how is that defined at your institution? not sure I understand the question

I would like to get input from many of you out there on how you handle return to work evaluations on employees who self disclose they went out of work for a drug and/or alcohol abuse. I am having robust discussions with our legal team about performing drug and alcohol tests upon return.

There is agreement about when an employee is found to be impaired at work, testing can be performed upon.

Do you require a RTW note from the substance abuse provider on details such as completed the program and random testing has been negative?
Do you perform drug and alcohol testing?
Do you perform unannounced testing on that individual?
If you do testing is it only for those in safety sensitive positions?
What kind of pushback do you get from your hospital leaders about violation of the ADA or FMLA when you perform testing?
We all know that current drug or alcohol use is not protected under the ADA; however, how is that defined at your institution?

Thanks,
Phil

I wanted to announce to the group that I am retiring my Health and Safety Position at Marshfield Clinic.  I plan to continue to get this list at my home, so I will at least be able to keep up with all the fascinating issues the group discusses.

I wanted to express my great appreciation for all the information the group has provided over the years.  Having this group to bounce things off of has really assisted me in the development of programs for my facility.
