Input Needed – Accidents and Drug Testing

We’d like to hear from our members concerning their protocols for drug testing. Some departments require drug testing following any/all accidents, regardless of the severity. Please answer the following questions concerning drug testing:
When does your department test?
What criteria helps you decide whether or not to test?
Is the cost of damage to property or equipment a contributing factor?

Contact Bob Girardi at 216-831-8500 or email at girardi@pepperpike.org to let NOSDA know how you handle this important matter. Your input will be helpful to our members, and greatly appreciated.
