I work in Virginia. The company I work for has recently instituted drug testing.....pre-employment, post accident, random, and "for cause". They are currently using only one testing facility for ALL testing and the site is 30 miles away. What this means is that in the case of post accident, random, or "for cause" (suspected "high" on drugs), employees will be directed to proceed to the facility 30 miles away.....not transported, but getting there on their own. Isn't the company opening themselves to liability by doing this? The last company I worked for required that a member of management....a supervisor, foreman, etc...actually transport the employee.
