Its pretty standard practice, usually required as part of workers comp claims (and related insurance policies for companies), that people get tested for substances following a workplace injury. Plus employers would love to have an excuse not to pay out the claim, even if someone having smoked weed 2 weeks beforehand had no bearing on their injury.
One thing I find interesting about Colorado is that if someone is tested following an incident and tests positive, the company is still liable for 50% of the comp claim. Unlike in most places, someone being intoxicated or testing positive does not fully negate the responsibility of the company to pay out workers comp
