Kevin Stitt signed a bill giving employers more control over their workplace drug policies, as Oklahoma law prohibits employers from firing those with a license to use medical cannabis solely because of a positive drug test unless they’re using drugs at work or working in a safety-sensitive position. H.B. 3127 allows employers to fire workers based only on a positive drug test for cannabis components or metabolites if the action is taken pursuant to a written drug and alcohol testing policy. The bill also declares that all safety-sensitive positions shall be subject to a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy, regardless of any policy adopted by the employer. The bill redefines safety-sensitive position to mean a job where workers perform duties on a nonexhaustive list that includes handling hazardous materials; operating a vehicle, equipment, machinery or power tools; firefighting; carrying a firearm; dispensing pharmaceuticals; and providing direct patient care. The bill goes into effect Nov. 1. WorkCompCentral is a sister publication of Business Insurance. More stories here .
