A worker at Tolko Industries in Williams Lake, B.C. was backing his log loader out of a loading bay in May 2016 when he struck and seriously damaged a chip loader. In post-incident drug testing, the worker tested positive for cannabis. An assessment by a substance abuse professional concluded the individual did not have a substance abuse problem. The worker was fired.
