摘要

On Dec.1,2016,new.OSHA regulations regarding when an employer can drug test an employee following a work-related injury went into effect. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's new rules prohibit an employer from having blanket drug-testing policies following incidents producing injuries at work, so employees are not deterred from reporting such incidents to their employer. The regulations prohibit employers from using drug testing in a manner that retaliates against employees for reporting work-related injuries.
