Drug Testing as Proof of Due Diligence

Prove you handled it right. A clear chain-of-custody form, a confirmatory drug-test result, and a dated drug-testing policy show due diligence in keeping your workplace safe and in defending your company against negligent-hiring and liability claims. That kind of paperwork changes the tone of any follow-up and saves you from guesswork and second-guessers.

What proof of due diligence actually is (in plain terms)

Due diligence consists of paperwork that stands up in court, to auditors, and in front of your insurer. The core pieces are simple and specific:

  • A written policy with dates and version history — show when the policy changed and who got the update.
     
  • Supervisor logs for reasonable-suspicion events — short, factual notes: date/time, what was seen, who witnessed it, action taken.
     
  • Chain-of-custody forms — a linked timeline from collector to lab so nobody can question sample handling.
     
  • Confirmatory lab results and MRO findings — not just a preliminary flag. The confirmed result and medical review must be on file.
     
  • Random-testing rosters and selection method — show the process was fair, not targeted.
     
  • Incident tie-in reports — connect the decision to test back to the policy language in your handbook.
