IS DRUG TESTING IN THE WORKPLACE A GOOD IDEA?

I think it would be a good idea. They should do it in school as well - it
might stop them before they get started.

Sally Howard, 69, of Carlisle

I think it is a good idea for people like the police and the armed forces
but not for all jobs.

Angela MacLachlan, 42, of Carlisle

Yes, if bosses think some members of staff are under the influence. But it
would be a bit over the top if they did it all the time.

Anthony O'Malley, 26, of Carlisle

It is a good idea for safety reasons. If someone smokes cannabis and drives
a forklift truck, there could be an accident.

Dylan Reynolds, 29, of Carlisle

Yes. If people are on drugs when they are at work they could put people's
lives in danger.

Darren McGivern, 21, of Workington

I don't agree in general, but I do if you were in a position where it was a
risk to other people.

Lesley Benson, 50, of Distington

Yes. I think it would help cut down on drug abuse and it would be safer for
someone using machinery.

Eileen Farragher, 60, of Workington

Absolutely. If people have been smoking crack while working. they should be
sorted out. It could be dangerous.

Jeremy Sibson- Barnes, 43, of Port Carlisle

No. It might start off as random but could quickly become a way for bosses
to pick on someone.
