No company AFAIK ever makes staff pay for medicals
SOTV – Sad thing is, a lot of are not yet staff..!!!!! Where’s the logic in that I ask you..?
Good points SOTV, it's difficult to be frank without casting aspersions, but let's me adult about this, the random tox screen is probably the most valid tool in the rail doctors kit?

There are a few occasions when you will be medscreened. Before appointment to a safety critical post. Before promotion to another safety critical post. For cause after a safety of the line incident (including suicides). On suspicion of being unfit through drink or drugs. On a random basis.
Another tool is the random breath test for alcohol which is used quite frequently when booking on for duty.
The random tests are in my opinion a good thing. Initially my reaction was it is a bleedin cheek etc etc. However, any test that protects my arse when accusations are flying about is fine by me.
