I'm all for drug testing.
Bring me the drugs, I'll test them and tell you whether you would be able to work having taken them.

Bobby, you need to look at yourself as an employer too, mate.
You were going to ask a lad with impaired hearing to hop on one leg, to test his balance.
I would say you're on very dodgy ground, doing things like that.

ah yes, young Kamil, my very first worker , ive still got his whistle in my glovebox,bought it for him to peeeep  to get my attention .

[mci services]

do what you want bobby, nobody else's business really, by the way E, speed and coke will be out their system within 72 hours so won't be picked up, dope will be detected for longer around 28 days

so if you do test do it on a monday and large amounts of water drunk before test can prove inconclusive, and you would have to check temperature of the urine to make sure it was theirs and fresh

sounds a bit like hard work to me but go for it

[CLEANCARE WC]

yes ,my main worry was what if a dopey went up the 2nd floor ladder  and toppled backwards . you lads know exactly how it feels on the ladders,you need your wits about you 100% , not 90% or 80%

 what i had in mind was giving  a basic drug test AT the interview only, but reading the posts i now see that im asking for trouble so im going to forget the idea .

 i might add that each lad who worked for me loved the job, i even overheard one saying i was the best boss he had ever had - but then a few days later was telling me that weed smoking was mucking up his life( after a full day of working at a snails pace) .  Week  before that he was climbing the 2nd floor ladders most of the day ,i cringe thinking about it  now
  Because i liked him as a person,i told him if he ever came to me in the future and looked me in the eye and  told me he was free of weed, id take him on again . He hasnt been in touch

was that the lad that looked like otto the bus driver from the simpsons?

no mate,       "otto" is still on board, for the time being (has been off sick since tuesday )
 Dan ,do u know any of the roys group lads? An ex-Roys lad with a foreign voice wants a start  with me ,says he was made redundant

i dont bobby sorry.

Why not join the 21st century and start using safe modern working practices like wfp ?

I would not dream of employing people to use an unsafe working practice climbing ladders that could cause serious harm !

What is worse. . . . somone smoking a joint, or somone who asks an employee to carry out work that could kill em ?

That depends on many, many things; so I couldn't answer it.

do some of you guys have a good sense of smell? i dont but one of my lads really has. his job includes cleaning the doors and if he catches the letterbox open he can instantly smell if theres cannabis inside the house

FTFY.

And are these customers dropped from the round?,they could be a hazard to your workers/addicts.

[Richy essex]

easy guys!!!!!  hes only askin thats what this forum is for askin for advice! i dont think this warrants being called a twat  my advice bobby is just keep trying new guys filter them more before you take them on if you pay a good wage and treat the guys fair then you should attract the right sort of people where do you get these guys  so far from? and what ages are they?  maybe you should try someone slightly older if this is the case i dont think you would get away with drug testing as such but youre well within your rights to have a zero tollerance to drink and drugs as are most employers do! maybe you should advertise somewhere else to attract a more reliable type etc im sure theres loads of people out of work at the mo that would be more than gratefull

[bobby p]

mostly find them using a small ad in the local post office window.  As it happens,this very afternoon i interviewed the latest , hes coming out next week on a 1 day trial.
  hes older at 30 and was working as a windie for 4 yrs before being laid off by a reputable firm . Says he was last man in,first man out
   The only bad sign i see is he has a big belly, whether thats bulged since hes been resting or from ale swilling i dont know. For sure that will go if he hacks a few weeks on the ladders on the council estates . at least i wont need to show him how to use a squeegee .

If you catch him breathing more deeply at some letter boxes, I think you should sack him. 

[the bfg]

I hate people who take drugs

coppers,  customs, airport security ect,

especially when there my drugs

Probably from the munchies.

Think you are jumping the gun here Bobby. Give him some speed, have you seen guys on speed? they go like hell. Give it some thought, may not be so bad.

There you go Bobby for a small outlay on ephedrine you can increase your workers productivity by 200%!
I would suggest doing it discreetly to begin with.
Maybe sprinkle some on their "quality" sausage roll without them noticing

some of you guys seem to have insider info on the drug scene.  that would be an advantage but i have no such knowledge.
  When i was interviewing the latest guy ,on the street outside his home, a car with a noisey exhaust drove by. the new guy did a sort of secret quick hand signal to the driver, as if he was making a letter  O  or E with his first finger and thumb.  maybe im paranoid ,or maybe this signal meant something . lets hope it just meant hello
