EmergencyMedicalTigger Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The county does drug/alcohol testing following any accident. Some cases that are very a minor, a lieutenant can determine testing isn't necessary and we don't have to go through the hassle. For instance, I had to document an accident when my backer who wasn't paying attention backed me into an overhanging carport at about 2mph. I could not see the overhang and stopped immediately once I felt the bump. Since our shift lieutenant felt the accident was minor and easily explainable we didn't have to go out of service to go through drug testing. I think that the drug testing policy can be a little extreme in some cases, but I feel some type of policy should be in place. I suppose these types of random testings are put in place because of something that happened in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
