We decided he needs to go to the hospital. He is worried they will drug test him at the hospital because he does not have insurance so he would have to use work to go to the hospital. Will they drug test him?

typically anywhere i have worked in the last forever REQUIRES you to take a drug test if there was an on the job accident....sounds as if he may have something to hide?
usually refusal to submit means on the spot termination...

To check on his burn, it's not normal for them to do a random drug test like that, unless his work asks for it, and they do have a right to ask any time for a drug test from employees. He can collect workman's comp for his burn.
Plus, if he is using drugs, I would strongly suggest that he stop 'now'. He will eventually be caught and he will have a mess on his hands when he does. Plus if the hospital has to take any blood to see if the wound is infected etc, they will find the drugs in his system without doing a specific drug test. It will show up.Plus did you know that pot/marijuana can be caught with a hair folicle test? Yep. Even if you rid of the pot in your system, the evidence is still in your hair, and I believe it stays there for over a month. Hopefully your friend will start making some smarter choices when it comes to doing pot/drugs. :-)

It depends on workplace policy. Some employers do drug testing on an employee if has a lost time accident or causes one. The hospital will not do it on their own.

Probably not, but they may. He can say no if they want to though, it isn't a mandatory hospital visit. If his boss wants it then yeah he can or he loses the job.

they may but i doubt it. if he was hurt at work, workmans comp ins will cover this. all businesses have to carry it for all employees. i hope they filled out an accident report when this happened.
