An employer recently contacted us to perform a reasonable suspicion test on one of their employees. One of the employer’s supervisors had attended our Reasonable Suspicion Training Class and was equipped with the knowledge of how to spot the signs and symptoms of an impaired employee.
As we teach in the class, the employer had the employee escorted to the clinic. You should never allow an employee you believe might be impaired drive themselves to the clinic. Doing so is a safety hazard to the public and could be a huge liability to the employer if the employee harms someone on their way to the clinic. You’d be surprised how many employees arrive at our clinic drunk, having driven themselves there on the directions of their employers – it happens several times a year.
