Does Shell drug test?

The type of drug test and whether it is required as part of the hiring process comes down to the position and country you are working in. If you work in oil extraction or distribution, for instance, then you are going to be asked to pass a drug screening, typically a hair follicle test, as part of the hiring process, as well as having to take random drug tests at least twice a year.

Shell also typically requires a drug test as part of the hiring process for all corporate positions, including finance, IT, marketing, human resources, and legal. They typically use either a urine or hair follicle test, for these positions, done by a third-party testing facility.

Shell is a tobacco-free workplace and as such it prohibits its employees from the use of regular cigarettes, as well as chewing tobacco, electronic cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, vapes, or any other variations while inside any company building or vehicle.

If you plan to work at 1 of the 10,0000 Shell gas stations as a cashier, food stocker, or fuel attendant, then you may or may not be asked to take a drug test. It depends on that particular store's location and its own policies regarding drug testing. The majority of Shell stations are independently owned franchises.
