One of the forklift operators in the logistics department at Clearwater Electronics had an accident that damaged property on one of the shipping docks. Clearwater has a policy that an employee who causes harm to someone or damage to property or equipment must submit to a mandatory drug test. The HR department always interviews the employee involved and is always notified of the results of the drug test.
