look at the synthetic urine in particular

Mate of mine who's a heavy smoker got a job with BHP @ the Olympic Dam mine site with the synthetic urine and he passed with flying colours

If your applying for a job and they require you to pay for your own medical/drug test you can claim that back on tax...
I've had to quit smoking recently its been less than a week now. I've been a TA in the electrical industry for over 5yrs now I got offered a mature age apprenticeship last year (dream come true). Company went down lost my apprenticeship 2 Weeks before I was due to sign my papers after my probe period.. Thoughtful Fuck it I want that apprenticeship now more than ever did my pre app in electrotechnology cert II. I've applied for a huge amount of electrical apprentice intakes for 2014 in the mines so I'm hoping that I will hear something from those mining companies real soon. that's why I have had to stop smoking just in case in the next few Weeks or so I get an interview then have to have a medical... I would hate myself if I got a chance to go but then failed because of cannabis opportunity is too good to waste.

Got told that this stuff is the shit and 100% money back guarantee for Australians its called zydote. Thanks for listening to my ramblings on must be the non smoking....

With the way things are moving, I'm trying to think of a way to have my own business. I have no idea how I will do it, or the training it will involve, but I think in the future if you're not an employer, you will be drug tested. The shit thing is that multi nationals are making it impossible for small businesses, even for professionals. Anyway, good luck with the test!

irc nsw has upheld that on the job urine testing is a breach of privacy and other things.

pre employment testing not sure. go to your union and demand a saliva test.

i believe this was my first post under terroir back in the day https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=97704

deciscion upheld 2012
