The dumb ass offered me a hit from his pipe beer in hand. Wtf get off my site now before you are removed.

Hahahahaha! Guys like that eventually get to thinking everyone else is just like them.

Ummmm, Aren't you the dumb ass for hiring him in the first place ?
Don't you ask around or check references ?

sub contractors employee not mine.

And that, boys and girls, is why they call it 'dope'. ;D

Hard to believe how many contractors are abusing substances or drinking on the job. I am finding that left and right since I am covering the general contractor spot since being hit by a tornado November 17.

Yes it is, every one is always shocked, that I don't drink or smoke.

I hate to break it to you boys, but the guys who built the Empire State building used to pay kids to bring them pails of beer.

yes they did, same as every one until the 70s. Its real simple, I can not afford to have people intoxicated on my site. The sheer liabilty is huge, Insurance companys often look for reasons not too pay.
U will not risk every thing I own so you can get your jolleys.

It's the 43 Anniversary of OSHA today!
Go figure...

Osha is full of shit, don't get me wrong I am all for keep workers dafe, but some of the rule are just a joke.

The sad thing is that it isn't about intoxication. It was a few bad apples that ruined it for all. It was abuse that has caused insurance companies to take a zero tolerance stance and ambulance chasers to line up at the testing lab door.
These regulations have gotten so bad that many companies and organizations have adopted zero tolerance. What does this mean? It means that our local county snow plow drivers cannot drink at all in the winter. The blood tests will pull up a single beer from 36 hours prior. In the summer they can have a beer from the time they get off on Thursday evening until mid afternoon on Saturday (they work four, eleven hour days during the summer months), but nothing, zero, nadda from about four Saturday afternoon on.
My CDL carries a limit of 0.04 for alcohol regardless of what or when I am driving, but if I am driving on the job it had better be 0.00.
The Nanny State took over in the 70's, and we did not notice the boiling water for two decades.

Ummm......I don't think so. Someone is pulling your leg on this one.
The liver can process approx 0.9 oz of alcohol per hour. (normal functioning liver)
If you have ONE beer, you should be alcohol free, 0.00 in two hours, three if you are a 100# female.

Nope! I have seen the results. I have never had mine done, but the local union paid for their members to run the test when the rule was put in. It was a friend of mine who was a part of it. They did 12, 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40 hours. Scott, my friend, was 32 hours, and his test came back "Alcohol - Trace" 36 hour subject was smaller than Scott, and came back trace, and the 40 was clean. The union had expected the 36 to be clean as well, but he wasn't.

How much did he have to drink!?!?!? :o
-
I know a lot of engineers who could be some if the most dangerous wingnuts alive when they're sober!
Regardless, show up drunk or high and I have no use for you either but, what you do in your own time is not my business.
Party on Wayne and Garth...

^This^ and did they get him treatment for his liver failure?
You're saying they blood tested everyone - STARTING at ZERO - then gave them ONE beer and they hadn't metabolised it in 30 hrs?
Did he OD on tylenol and his cholesterol buster drugs?
-

One beer per hour over a four hour period. Timer started at the point the last beer was finished. That was the standard for all who participated in the blood and urine tests.

thats just it, after effects and intoxication can last days and even weeks.

Same here. If even a trace shows up on a random at work. BuhBye, see ya. Which of course means I don't drink anymore.
