What are the biggest companies that drug test? Drug testing by employers is a controversial practice, with many people believing it to be a violation of privacy.

Naturally, many employers disagree. They believe that while an employee’s drug use may very well be contained to their private life initially, that use could eventually spiral out of control and lead to the employee missing time, seeing their job performance decline, and/or leading to drug use at work.

Now without a further ado let’s see what Insider Monkey has investigated for us. We have picked two companies from their list.

First up on the list of the 10 biggest companies that drug test is Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), which requires employees, contractors, and sub-contractor’s employees to submit to drug tests, including alcohol testing. The company also requires contractors to perform random drug testing as well as drug testing after an accident. The second one is Procter & Gamble Co. Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) will ask for a urine or hair follicle test to be completed before hiring anyone, though it’s unclear if the manner of testing is random or based on the position being applied for.
