We’ve been delivering drug and alcohol testing services for over a decade, and our Charlotte location reflects that track record. Our certified collectors work in clean, well-maintained facilities, and we keep wait times under five minutes. That matters when you’re sending employees in during a workday or responding to a post-accident situation where timing is everything.
Results come back fast, often within minutes of collection. We partner with AABB-accredited laboratories to support accuracy on confirmatory testing, so the results we deliver hold up when it counts. Testing is priced to be accessible for businesses of any size, from a single-location shop to a company with dozens of employees cycling through a random pool.
Employer Testing Options at This Location
Our employer services cover the testing types Charlotte businesses need most:
- Pre-employment screening: Confirm a candidate’s status before their first day using urine, hair, or fingernail testing depending on your program requirements.
- Random testing: We support ongoing random pool programs that satisfy both company policy and regulatory requirements.
- Reasonable suspicion (for-cause) testing: When a supervisor has documented cause to test, we provide fast, confidential collection so the process stays defensible.
- Post-accident testing: Timely collection after a workplace incident creates the documentation employers need for incident reports and insurance purposes.
Testing methods include urine, hair, fingernail, and breath tests. Most results are available within minutes. If your company doesn’t have a testing protocol in place, we can help you build one, including policy creation and an ongoing program tailored to your business.
DOT-Compliant Drug Testing for Charlotte Employers
Commercial motor vehicle operators and companies regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration are required to maintain a DOT drug testing program. That includes pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, and return-to-duty testing for drivers and other safety-sensitive employees. Fastest Labs of Central Charlotte provides DOT-compliant collection for all of these situations.
Mobile Collection & On-Site Services
For employers who can’t easily send drivers to a collection site, we offer mobile collection services. A certified collector comes to your business location and handles the process on-site, helping keep your fleet moving.
Substance Abuse Professional Network
We also give employers access to a network of Substance Abuse Professionals who can evaluate employees following a positive test and support the return-to-duty process. Under FMCSA rules, an employee who tests positive must be removed from safety-sensitive duties, evaluated by a Substance Abuse Professional, and pass a return-to-duty test before resuming those duties.
North Carolina’s CSERA & What It Means for Your Testing Program
North Carolina’s Controlled Substance Examination Regulation Act, enforced by the state’s Wage and Hour Bureau, sets procedural requirements for employment-related drug testing. CSERA doesn’t require employers to test, but if your company conducts testing, the law governs how that testing must be handled.
Two procedural points are worth knowing. First, any positive screening result for a current employee must be confirmed using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry or an equivalent scientifically accepted method before action is taken. Second, if a test returns positive, the employer must notify the employee within 30 days and inform them of their right to request a retest. Employers subject to DOT testing should note that DOT-mandated testing is specifically exempt from CSERA’s procedures.
