A. No. OSHA does not require drug testing of employees to detect the presence of illegal drugs. However, for some chemical exposures at high levels, OSHA requires blood, urine or lung testing. Examples of these chemicals are lead, asbestos, cadmium, arsenic, etc. Employees in Arkansas can elect to conduct drug testing but it is not required by OSHA. The Department of Transportation (DOT) does have drug testing requirements for certain vehicle drivers.
