Appendix Document: Pre-Placement Drug Testing Procedures Effective Date: 10-01-2020 Revisions: 3 Pages: 3 Policies Referenced: B-9, H-6 I. RULES A. Applicants for all benefit-eligible positions are subject to pre-employment drug testing. B. Testing for THC, a chemical found in marijuana but also in other cannabis-based products, has the potential to create an artificial and data uninformed barrier to employment. It may exclude qualified applicants who lawfully use cannabis-based products or exclude applicants who pose no threat to their safety or the safety of others. As a result, the City will not report THC results for individuals applying to non-safety sensitive roles. All applicants for safety-sensitive positions including, sworn law enforcement, sworn fire personnel, emergency tele-communicators and commercial drivers must pass a pre-employment screening including THC.
