Dude, our "offices" consist of people using workstations to manage and control heavy machinery, hazardous chemicals and working conditions that include high pressure steam and hydraulics. As a lot of this equipment is controlled by people using workstations from our head office so yeah...it is kind of important for them to alert/sober as even though they are just sitting in an office as it can still cause harm/death to people working out in the field. Not to mention the effect that the decisions our engineers and geologists make have on our field people as well. So yeah, I would think that this kind of policy is extremely justifiable and I don't know what kind of a moron would want to work under in that type of environment with someone who was stoned or drunk.
Crazy to think that offices can have a little more functionality than photocopying stuff eh. Maybe you should not assume that just because the extent of your day in an office hovers around a photocopier, that all offices work the same way.
On a side note, they stated that the search found no banned substances at either our head office or the 3 field sites in Alberta that were searched. So I guess that can either mean our workers are abiding by the rules or that search dog really sucks at its job.
