Question 7-9 If an employee who sustains a work-related injury requiring days away from work is terminated for drug use based on the results of a post-accident drug test, how is the case recorded? May the employer stop the day count upon termination of the employee for drug use under section 1904.7(b)(3) (vii)?
Under section 1904.7(b)(3)(vii), the employer may stop counting days away from work if an employee who is away from work because of an injury or illness leaves the company for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness, such as retirement or a plant closing. However, when the employer conducts a drug test based on the occurrence of an accident resulting in an injury at work and subsequently terminates the injured employee, the termination is related to the injury. Therefore, the employer must estimate the number of days that the employee would have been away from work due to the injury and enter that number on the 300 Log.
Steroids are a class biological chemicals sometimes used to treat medical conditions and sometimes as a drug of abuse. They are not an incident, injury or illness so their existence is not OSHA recordable.
Yes. An employer can fire anyone who fails a drug test regardless of their criminal history. FYI, in the majority of US states an employer has the right to fire any employee as long as the employee's status is not protected under EEOC laws and regulations regarding discrimination.
It requires both.
No known adverse reactions have been reported with osha.
Closing down restroom facilities on employee's for no reason at all is, I'm sure, in violation of Osha laws and regulations. For further assistance and details you can contact Osha at 1-800-321-6742.

As a current employee, they do not drug test. In the employee manual , it states that basically if you come to work High, then they will drug test you, but other than that I haven't been drug tested, I've worked here for over 3 months and a coworker for 3 years and not once drug tested him.
