Anyone ever been asked to do a medical for a job

[cogsey133]

Had to have a medical for several jobs and i have also been subject to random drugs tests. It seems to be the standard in most sites now. The funny thing though when my contract finished one Friday i was selected for a drugs test even though i was getting paid off an hour later......lol

If you had failed, would that have been grounds for not paying you?

Not sure about not paying for the work thats been carried out. You will find yourself kicked off site if you fail and blacklisted (although they say they dont) from the site for any future contracts which may arise

Not building jobs but have had to have medicals when gone for maintenance jobs, one I remember was for Bombardier which built and repaired trains in Crewe they could come up to you at any time and tell you to go to the medical centre for a random urine test for drugs and alcohol.
