1. how do you know they aren't already?
2. impaired driving, impaired operation of mechanical things, impaired work, impaired anything, is already covered by OSHA and at the workplace. If a substance is impairing their ability to perform their tasks as described, then it doesn't matter WHAT substance is doing the impairing. It could be cannabis, prescribed painkillers to treat recovery from surgery, alcohol, recreational use of painkillers, an antihistimine to treat allergies, or they took an extra prescribed, necessary prozac by mistake that morning. If it impairs their function, they have to go home. If they're impaired on purpose, they go home, and can't come back. If they're not impaired, how do you know they're not using something?
