Non-DOT employers still benefit from maintaining a structured drug-free workplace program. These programs often include pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing as part of a written policy.
A structured drug-free workplace program protects your business, reduces liability, improves employee safety, and can lower workers' compensation costs. Our testing programs are designed to help employers of all sizes maintain compliant, defensible drug testing policies.
Screen candidates before hiring to ensure a drug-free workforce from day one.
Unannounced, scientifically random selection testing conducted throughout the calendar year.
Immediate testing following any qualifying workplace incident or accident.
Based on trained supervisor observations and documented signs of impairment.
Required before an employee can resume duties after a policy violation and completion of treatment.
Ongoing unannounced testing schedule after an employee returns to duty.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) established the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs to ensure accuracy and reliability. While binding for Federal Agencies and DOT, private companies frequently adopt these guidelines to demonstrate compliance with the highest available testing standards.
Our standard panel adheres strictly to HHS guidelines, which require testing for five major categories to ensure precision and eliminate false positives:
We mandate a highly standardized and meticulous process for collecting and handling specimens to ensure sample integrity. We utilize the Federal Custody and Control Form (CCF) as the official chain of custody document, tracking the specimen chronologically from donor to testing laboratory.
A Medical Review Officer (MRO) is a licensed physician who plays a specialized and impartial role in the post-analysis phase. The MRO acts as a gatekeeper, interpreting confirmed laboratory results to ensure the integrity of the process and verifying legitimate medical explanations (such as a valid prescription) to protect donor privacy.
For employers operating under the jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), we support comprehensive drug testing programs in accordance with 14 CFR Part 120, Subpart E. These stringent requirements ensure safety across the aviation industry for flight crews, dispatchers, mechanics, and other safety-sensitive employees.
