Internships and Drug Testing

<p>Do companies go to the lengths to ensure that the interns working with them pass drug tests? What is your experience? Any horror stories?</p>

<p>Both intern / co-op positions I have taken required pre-orientation hair tests. Worked at a utility company and now an oil company.</p>

<p>If you have an internship this summer you should not be taking an illegal or non presciprtion medications...staring now</p>

<p>A mining company required the pee test, as well as blood samples, etc, as part of a physical/drug test.</p>

<p>I am not trying to be 'preachy' but we do a drug test on day one of work... not intended to be a big drama and we know what you may have been doing ... but we cant legally allow someone ot work who could be impaired</p>
