QUOTE (Hugh Saskin @ Nov 9 2009, 04:29 PM)  I was referring to chosing whether an individual wished to work for a firm that had a random drugs and alcohol screening policy for its staff, not whether to use the firm's services or not. Cannot see your course of action regarding asking an organisation each time if they have such a policy or not before using them as terribly practical, to be honest. Would you, for instance, ask Wightlink or Red Funnel line whether they routinely screen their deckhands before you decided to go for a day on the Isle of Wight - or whether there is a system in place for screening the tanker drivers who bring the fuel to the places you stop to buy petrol? (in the latter case, they probably do, actually) Simply risk mitigation - where there is a serious risk to me - yes I do check. Certainly where it affects my business as well. As to the firms you mention; yes they do! Would you honestly get your car serviced at a garage you didn't trust? Must admit - I think we've gone a little too far on the cult of the individual - with freedom comes responsibilty; a lost value. -------------------- Know your place!

This thread is turning into a great example of some people's general misconception about drugs.

QUOTE (On the edge @ Nov 9 2009, 08:04 PM) As to the firms you mention; yes they do! Since there is generally no mandatory requirement so far for the merchant marine to have random screening in place, delighted to hear it, especially since it is currently a recommendation following various accidents to seafarers where drink/drugs have been held to be the primary cause. Out of interest, can you tell us where you learnt that Red Funnel and Wightlink have these screening procedures in place? |
