what is the point of scheduled drug/alcohol tests?

[tm37]

I calibrate Breath alcohol testing machines as part of my job. I had to pull a unit to make a repair and they "resecheduled" the test for two days later. WHY? what is the point of a scheduled Alcohol test?

WHo is the moron who fails this test?

If you know that on tuesday you are gonna be tested would you drink on monday?

every time i have to hire a new employee they have to go to a mandatory drug test. what i don't understand is all the people who fail. why the hell would you go to a drug test if your on drugs? just don't show and move on.

they prolly thought its a multiple choice or fill in the blanks type test!

if you are a drug or alcohol addict you might not be able to stay clean even if you do have a test scheduled?

Some people may think they can beat the tests.. it is different for each person isn't it?

And they applied when you inform anyone who applies that you do drug testing right?

Not sure about the drug test but the alcohol tests are pretty difficult to beat.

If anything the test will come up as inconclusive.

The BAT testing sytems today are cheap and pretty reliable.
