Drug Testing Policies, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines how companies are adapting workplace drug-testing policies amid shifting laws and attitudes. Drawing on a May 2018 industry survey with firm benchmarks, the analysis contrasts firms in jurisdictions with relaxed marijuana laws versus those where use remains illegal. Focus areas include policy design and enforcement (applicant versus incumbent testing, post‑accident and reasonable‑suspicion triggers), legal and compliance alignment, and testing methods such as urine versus hair testing, while charts highlight prevalence across jurisdictions. The analysis indicates employers generally test applicants more than existing staff and tend to test incumbents in safety‑sensitive roles or after incidents. The report reveals where companies are prioritizing policy and compliance investments.
