As Pennsylvania does not have a state law that regulates or prohibits drug testing in the private sector, employers can set up drug free workplace programs. Private employers have flexibility in implementing drug testing policies that meet the needs of their organization, unless they are subject to certain Federal regulations, such as the DOT regulations for employees in safety-sensitive positions. Typically employers in Philadelphia will test under the following situations:

• Pre-Employment: Conducted to prevent hiring individuals who use drugs, it typically takes place after a conditional offer of employment has been made.
• Reasonable Suspicion: Conducted when supervisors have "probable cause" (i.e., documented, observable signs and symptoms) for suspecting drug use or a violation of the workplace drug policy. Supervisors must have comprehensive training in what behavior justifies such testing.
• Post-Accident: It is important to establish objective criteria that will trigger a post-accident test and how and by whom such tests will be administered. There should be reasonable suspicion that drugs or alcohol may have caused the accident.
• Random: Performed on an unannounced, unpredictable basis on employees whose information has been placed in a testing pool from which a scientifically arbitrary selection is made (i.e. computer generated).
• Return-to-Duty: A one-time, announced test when an employee has tested positive previously and has completed the required treatment for substance abuse and is ready to return to the workplace.
• Follow-up – after a return to duty these are unannounced tests once the employer has the return to duty test and resumes work after required treatment for substance abuse.

Philadelphia beat out New York City and Columbus, Ohio, to host the 2016 Democratic National Convention, party officials announced on Thursday. Here's a look at 10 more interesting facts about Philadelphia:

1. Philly is home to the nation's first hospital (Philadelphia Hospital, co-founded in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin), first university (University of Pennsylvania in 1740) and first zoo (Philadelphia Zoo in 1874).
2. Philly's famed "cheesesteaks" weren't actually made with cheese for at least the first decade of their existence, according to Frank Olivieri, owner of Pat's King of Steaks. Olivieri said that Pat, his great-uncle, initially conceived of it in 1930 as a steak sandwich with onions on a hot dog roll (he was a hot-dog vendor at the time). The cheese didn't come in until the 1940s, he told Philadelphia Magazine.
3. In 1856, Philadelphia hosted the first Republican National Convention to nominate a presidential contender. Republicans nominated former Sen. John Fremont of California for president and former Sen. William Dayton of New Jersey for vice president.
4. Philadelphia City Hall was designed by architect John McArthur Jr. to be the tallest building in the world, but both the Eiffel Tower and Washington Monument were completed before it and stood taller. Still, Philly's City Hall was the tallest occupied building from 1901 to 1909, when New York City's MetLife building was completed.
5. Philadelphia is home to the bizarre Mutter Museum. The museum features medical oddities such as slides of Albert Einstein's brain, a tumor removed from President Grover Cleveland's jaw and tissue removed from the vertebra of John Wilkes Booth, President Abraham Lincoln's killer.
6. To celebrate the Super Bowl, Philadelphia is home to the annual Wing Bowl. The eating competition, which starts at 5:30 a.m., features two 14-minute rounds of wing-eating followed by a 2-minute final lightning round. Pat Bertoletti won this year's 23rd competition by breaking a record and eating 444 wings.
7. Philadelphia's famous Liberty Bell was originally called the State House Bell. It was not commonly referred to as the Liberty Bell until the mid-1800s, in coordination with the abolitionist movement.
8. Philadelphia is home to the nation's first daily newspaper, the Philadelphia Packet and Daily Advertiser. Its first edition was published Sept. 21, 1784.
9. About 50 tree seedlings went to the moon and back with the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, and one of these "moon trees" was planted in Philadelphia's Washington Square Park. In 2011, when the tree was starting to deteriorate, national park officials replaced it with a clone.
10. NFL players named Philadelphia Eagles fans — the same fans who pelted Santa Claus with snowballs in 1968 and cheered Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin being carted off the field with an injury in 1999 — the most intimidating in the NFL, according to a 2011 Sports Illustrated poll.
