Guys:
For an AHJ position, you will go for a physical, and a drug test.

If you are involved in a vehicle accident, minor included, you go for a drug test. If you fall, or get physically hurt, you go for the drug test.

The above is Township policy, and the drug test is done at the Medical Center (JFK Hospital).

Alchol was never mentioned, but I think if you're over .08 or .10 you can be in trouble.

BTW: ThingGeed.....
I think "the trots" is horse racing.

When I got my AHJ job I had to get drug/alcohol test too, but I also had to undergo ALL SORTS of background checks for criminal history and everything else. I was surprised at just how deep they looked!

ThinkGood,
Yeah, sorry about that, the trots is a horse racing meeting, thanks for the clarification Hotline1!.
I agree that anyone that uses machinery should be drug and alcohol tested.
Slightly off-topic, but I once saw a documentary about airline pilots that were partying up before a long overseas flight and most of them only had an hours sleep before getting aboard the plane!.
