What will the drug tests test for?

If you look at the DAME handbook and then your company ops manuals panadol is about the only thing that you can legally take.

How many of us have gone to work taking an antibiotic for something (not necessarily the clap!) or taken an over the counter cold and flu medication?

What about over the counter herbal medications?

I can see many unwitting people caught in a trap that wasn't designed to catch them - but catch them it will nonetheless!

Do you get the sack for taking an antibiotic for an infected ingrown tow nail? For taking a codral in the middle of a trip?

Thoughts anyone?
