Training on Texas Workplace Drug Testing Laws

Workplace training for testing laws will be available to learners 48 hours after enrollment, including delivery of a quick reference guide.

Under Texas law, there is very little limitation placed on private employers in implementing a drug-free workplace policy. An employer can perform a drug test for a wide variety of reasons including in pre-employment context, as part of a random testing program, after a qualifying accident, under reasonable suspicion, or as part of a return-to-duty agreement.

The State of Texas requires certain elements to be met when implementing a drug testing policy in order to qualify for certain unemployment and workers’ compensation benefits. Employers must give adequate notice and have implemented a proper procedure for including chain of custody for testing for drug and alcohol tests.

Employers and human resources personnel
