What Your Workplace Testing Program May Include
The right combination of services depends on your policies, workforce, and regulatory obligations. We can help identify the appropriate options without assuming that one package or schedule works for every employer.
Available employer services include:
- Policy creation and implementation: Support for developing a workplace drug and alcohol testing policy and putting it into practice.
- Ongoing program management: Assistance maintaining the program and adjusting it as workplace policies, testing protocols, equipment, and technology change.
- Testing coordination: Pre-employment screening, random testing, for-cause testing, and DOT-compliant testing.
- Consortium services: Options for employers that participate in a testing consortium.
- Audit preparation: Support with preparation for Department of Transportation audits.
- On-site testing: Mobile collection options that bring services directly to the workplace.
A workplace policy may address pre-employment, random, reasonable-suspicion, post-accident, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing. The relevant categories depend on the employer’s policy and legal obligations, so we review those considerations before outlining the available support.
Certified Collectors, Short Waits, & Fast Results
Even a well-designed program can create unnecessary disruption if the collection process is slow or uncomfortable. Our certified collectors follow established procedures with an emphasis on accuracy, confidentiality, and clear communication. We maintain clean, inviting facilities and strive to keep wait times under five minutes.
Turnaround times depend on the test performed. Some results may be available instantly or within minutes, while nearly every test result is available within 24 to 48 hours. We can also discuss mobile testing when on-site collection better fits your schedule and operations.
Department of Transportation & Non-DOT Programs Require Different Approaches
DOT and non-DOT programs aren’t interchangeable. Non-DOT testing is directed by the employer rather than governed by Department of Transportation testing rules, although other laws and workplace requirements may still apply.
For covered drivers, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules may require pre-employment, random, reasonable-suspicion, post-accident, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing. Employers should align policy language, testing procedures, training, and recordkeeping with the rules governing their workforce.
A consortium or third-party administrator may assist with random testing and other administrative tasks, but certain decisions remain the employer’s responsibility. This information provides general educational context and isn’t a substitute for legal advice or an employer-specific compliance review.
Keep Your Testing Program Current
Adopting a policy is only the beginning. Ongoing administration may include maintaining participant information, coordinating required tests, documenting selections and results, and updating procedures as workplace needs or applicable rules change.
When DOT random testing applies, selections must be unannounced and handled according to the requirements governing the covered workforce. Non-DOT procedures should follow the employer’s policy and any applicable legal requirements rather than automatically mirroring a DOT process.
We provide ongoing support beyond a single collection appointment. As testing protocols, technology, or organizational needs evolve, we can help review the policy and adjust the services used to administer it.
