I will be moving to to southern England soon from the United States.

Can anyone tell me how common piss tests (or other types of drug tests) are in the UK?

Thanks.

Ive never had one..........a piss test for a job..........But some of the major corperations and factories will ask for a medical and anything will show up in the medical results.....I dont know about many that do, but Local Goverment, public service/sector rarely do, Its only the major corp's the uptight ones....or any job like Fireman or something......

Good luck with the move

Peace

Just watch out for Pre-job Medicals and take some ceaning drink first you so should be okay.......Good luck again

Hey itâ??s great that youâ??re coming over. The drug testing laws in this country are quite different to that of the States. If you apply for work an employer can request a drug test but they can not discriminate against you and decline your application if it comes up positive, especially for weed. Also the testing process is expensive so most employers don't test on this basis, but wait until problems start to show in your working abilities. If you do run into any problems just contact me and I will give you advice.
However, if you get arrested for a 'Trigger' offence ie: theft, robbery, burglary, shoplifting, possession of a class A so on so forth then the police have the right to take away any human rights you thought you had! They don't want to do it but the powers that be dictate that if someone is arrested for a trigger offence and refuses to take the test (oral swab only) then they have committed a further offence even if they havenâ??t been charged or found guilty of the offence they were arrested for! But if this happens and youâ??re only using hash, weed, cannabis then you'll be fine as the test is for Heroin & Crack/Cocaine.
Any probs just email me at mailto:[email protected] visit website
Enjoy your time over here
Best wishes
