Okay, so I just read the posts and answers started by mpwelsh007 about failing a pre-employment drug test.
Well, I don't fail drug tests cuz I don't do drugs or anything else, but I was just sent home from a company because I questioned the hair collection technique used by the Concentra Medical Center for a drug test. I had already given the mandated urine sample but when they went literally behind my back and said they were cutting some of my head hair, I didn't feel comfortable accepting that it WAS my hair that they were going to send for testing since I couldn't SEE them TAKING the hair. Kinda like losing the chain of custody like the urine test that is supposed to be done completely in front of the donor so the donor can verify that it IS their urine.
I offered several different options for a hair sample, ie. from the arm pit or crotch or even from the side of my face where I could WATCH them cutting MY hair, not sneaking around behind my back doing what ever they wanted to do.
Hair drug testing is NOT a DOT approved testing technique, but it is approved by the FDA. Is this something that the company could put on my DAC as a refusal to drug test?
