Comment on: Blog Post 'Illinois To Deny Workers Comp to Those Who Fail Drug and Alcohol Testing': at you may be testing someone directly after an accident, but, unless you deal with very advanced chromatography, you have no idea when they took said drug and therefore can't reasonably say that the accident was caused by such. Alcohol is different since you can immediately test if the person is under the influence...marijuana and other drugs you cannot as readily identify. The problem is that when you are tested (at the time of the accident) you will show a positive result, which will clearly be used as the "proximate cause". More times than not this will identify someone who is indeed under the influence and should not be, but there are many circumstances (specifically with marijuana users) where it will be used against them even though there is absolutely no correlation between accident and drug usage other than testing positive. Also note that for a regular smoker of marijuana, you will test positive for up to a month after the last time you used. Another thing to note is it is very typical to make an individual take a drug test after a workplace accident...In at-will states, they will most likely be fired immediately regardless.…; Added by Keith Plesha at 4:28pm on June 8, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Illinois To Deny Workers Comp to Those Who Fail Drug and Alcohol Testing': the influence or reasonably if it had been ingested or smoked within a time period relevant to an accident. A positive for marijuana can be detected for many months after use with a hair test even though no THC will show up in a blood test. Unless someone shaves all body parts and removes their fingernails and toenails. Marijuana shows up in fingernail clippings also long after somebody said, "ere". The problem is in an accident situation can the person prove that they were not effected by it if the blood test shows THC in the blood stream. Then you get into medical expert testimony based on the amount of THC, the individual make up of the person and on and on. But as you indicate, if the company has a 0 tolerance. The employee passed a drug test for purposes of employment then his baseline of negative is when he went to work so any trace of an illegal drug in his system after start date is grounds for immediate dismisal accident or not. Many a soul has packed their box and departed after a random drug test. Keyword where marijuana is concerned. The last time i looked it was still considered an illegal drug in the U. S. so if it's there in any trace in a workplace accident the recreational toker is toast both as to the accident and Workers Comp and also out of a job in most cases. The argument for or against the level of effect is moot if the THC level is there in the blood test. Most testing after an accident is much more through than just a simple urine sample both on the part of the company risk management group and workers comp from what i have heard from the lawyers and the lab folks.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 5:44pm on June 8, 2011
