This question is about Con Edison.
Yes, Con Edison does a drug test prior to an offer of employment. In most cases, the drug test is a urine test or mouth swab that is done through a private laboratory and paid for by Con Edison.
In addition, Con Edison reserves the right to drug test an employee at any time if substance use is suspected or if a workplace accident occurs. If a drug test is required and the result is positive, that can void any worker's compensation claims and can result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Con Edison prohibits employees from working under the influence of drugs, including marijuana, and maintains a formal policy of terminating employees with less than 6 months of service for a first offense. Con Edison will perform random drug testing on all employees during their tenure.
To avoid potential problems, it is best to prepare for the possibility of being drug tested and stop any use of illicit substances for several weeks before applying for a job.
