Yes, Hoffmann-La Roche drug tests. As a multinational pharmaceuticals and diagnostics company, Hoffmann-La Roche is strict about its drug policy when it comes to its employees. However, it does not appear that they drug test consistently across positions or locations.

Typically Hoffmann-La Roche requires a pre-employment drug test, and they have also been known to randomly drug test. They use a urine-based drug test.

Hoffmann-La Roche uses their own drug test that they developed known as DAT (drug-abuse test), which looks for the following drugs:

6-Acetylmorphine
Amphetamines
Barbiturates
Benzodiazepines
Buprenorphine
Cannabinoids - THC
Cocaine
Ethanol
Hydrocodone
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide - LSD
Methadone
Methadone metabolite
Methaqualone
Opiates
Oxycodone
Phencyclidine
Propoxyphenep>
Serum Barbiturates
Serum Benzodiazepines

Hoffman-La Roche is a smoke-free workplace. This means that they do not allow tobacco and vaping products to be used inside or outside the building. Employees caught smoking are asked to undergo a company-paid smoking cessation program.
