I am not an expert on NAHETS, so I cannot say for sure. But drugs is serious business! And even though it was a misdemeanor, an employer will still take it very seriously. Marijuana, to an employer, is no different than cocaine or heroin. In other words, drugs are drugs! And they'll definitely take into consideration how far back it goes, what your record has been since, and the type of work you're looking for. Driving heavy equipment requires someone with a clear head. And a drug user or drinker aren't the kinds of people best suited for this sort of work. You could crash, hurt yourself or someone else, damage goods, or possibly steal to fuel your habit. These are all the things that will run through their minds. And so you've got a major strike against you. But will it make them say NO, not necessarily. That all depends. But I would definitely plan for the possibility they will turn you down. And definitely expect drug testing to be part of the process. I've had former drug and alcohol users in my classes, so they do get in. But admissions is stricter on these people, and for good reason. And when dealing with motor vehicles, which a fork lift is considered, the last thing anybody wants is someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol! Now let me say that there is a difference with being charged with something vs being convicted. Being charged simply means you're suspected of something. But you may not have done it. And so, you're still presumed innocent until proven otherwise. An employer cannot discriminate against you if you're only charged, but haven't been convicted. But once you've been convicted, then you're guilty under the eyes of the law. And so an employer does have the right to take that into consideration if it's relevant to the job. Being convicted of drug possession is definitely related to driving a vehicle. And so, being accepted into a fork lift certification program will prove more difficult in this case. |
