Don't drink and don't take drugs.

Honestly? It staggers me that you need to ask.

I sort of tend to agree.

If you fail the d and a you will most likely be dismissed from railway employment under gross misconduct before the day is over.

Your call......

If you take drugs don't bother attending, but tell them in advance so they can give a valuable spot to someone who deserves it.

If you take prescription medication, tell them what. Don't drink alcohol the previous day or two days to be certain you have 0% alcohol in your blood.

Is this a joke?

The youth of today....God forbid they’d have to give the pubs and clubs a miss for a night

No I didn’t

 

[Railengineer18]

If I had a skin full I would be banned for 5 years

Also don't eat certain foods such as (if I remember correctly) sesame seeds, as these can lead to 'false positives'

Someone may be able to produce a full list...

Poppy seeds contain Opium if that’s what you mean? By no means an expert but this could lead to false positives for cocaine.

There is no most likely about it, it's a 100% certainty.

I asked this at my medical and the doctor told me you would need to eat a bucket load .

Heroin I believe, not cocaine.

One of my colleagues once tested positive for PCP - think it was something to do with drugs injected into beef from a certain fast food chain? I forget the details now.
