Drug & Alcohol Testing Consent Form

Introduction: How to Use This Tool

Clear, fair-minded and carefully drafted testing standards and procedures are essential to enforcing your workplace drug and alcohol policies. You also need a form for job applicants and workers to sign giving their consent to submit to testing in accordance with the terms of your testing policy. Attach a copy of the consent form as an exhibit to the policy. Best practices also dictate having the job applicant sign the form after they’re offered employment and making them submit to and pass pre-employment screening testing as grounds for employment. Refusing to be tested or testing positive, in other words, would be grounds for revoking the job offer.
