Workplace Drug Testing Laws in Kentucky

In the state of Kentucky, employers are required to follow employment drug screening laws for both the job application process and current employee purposes. Workplace drug testing laws in Kentucky are predominantly broad and offer employers the opportunity to conduct drug tests as long as regulations are followed correctly.

For purposes of pre-employment, Kentucky drug testing legislation states that applicants may only be asked to submit to a drug test once a conditional employment offer has been made. Furthermore, labor laws constructed under the Kentucky Drug-Free Workplace program request that employers who wish to conduct drug tests on current employees receive program certification.
