Random Testing in New Braunfels

Random Testing for Employees

Random testing can’t rely on predictable schedules, informal choices, or supervisor influence. A sound program requires an accurate employee pool, unbiased selections, timely notifications, secure collections, and appropriate records. We offer random drug testing, random alcohol testing, and combined drug and alcohol programs for Federal and Non-Federal employers. We also keep DOT-regulated programs separate from non-DOT workplace policies and their requirements.

Call (830) 742-0065 to discuss your employee testing needs and set up or manage your program.

Scientific Random Name Generation

We use scientific random generation software to select names from the covered employee pool. This creates an unpredictable, unbiased process rather than a schedule employees or supervisors can anticipate.

Our program support includes:

Random name generation: We generate employee selections using scientific software.
Random program management: We coordinate selections and ongoing testing responsibilities.
Random consortium services: We manage pooled programs for businesses that use a third-party administrator.

Maintaining a Drug/Alcohol-Free Workplace

We provide random testing policy creation and random testing policy implementation for employers establishing a new program or formalizing an existing one. Employees can complete collections at our facility, while on-site random testing gives employers a mobile option when testing at the workplace is more practical.

Testing Options for New Braunfels Employers

Available methods include urine, hair, fingernail, and saliva collections, along with breath alcohol testing. The appropriate method depends on the employer’s written policy, applicable regulations, employee role, and testing event.

We coordinate employer testing services for:

Federal and Non-Federal random programs
DOT drug/alcohol testing
Post-accident testing
Return-to-duty/follow-up testing
Facility collections and mobile on-site testing

From Program Setup to Specimen Collection

We begin by identifying covered employees and establishing the correct testing pool. From there, we can coordinate policy creation, policy implementation, random name generation, consortium management, and specimen collection. We conduct employer testing in a safe, confidential, and unbiased manner, using collection procedures designed to protect specimen identity and chain of custody through reporting.

A typical employer workflow includes:

Define the pool: Identify employees covered by the applicable workplace policy or federal regulation.
Generate selections: Select employees through a scientifically valid, unbiased method.
Notify employees: Follow the employer’s procedure for unannounced notification and the applicable collection window.
Complete collection: Conduct the required collection at our facility or through an on-site arrangement.
Manage records: Deliver documentation and results to the designated employer representative, the company contact authorized to receive and act on testing information.

DOT drug/alcohol testing & Compliance Responsibilities

DOT-regulated employers must follow 49 CFR Part 40, which establishes federal procedures for transportation workplace drug and alcohol testing, as well as rules from the applicable DOT agency. Requirements for covered safety-sensitive employees differ from those governing a non-DOT program.

DOT random selections must be scientifically valid, unannounced, and distributed reasonably throughout the calendar year. We offer DOT-compliant testing services and DOT audit preparation. Employers remain responsible for confirming covered employees, required testing events, recordkeeping duties, and agency-specific obligations.

Questions to Ask an Employee Testing Provider

Ask prospective providers how they generate selections, update employee pools, coordinate collections, handle records, and divide responsibilities with the employer. Clear answers can help HR professionals, safety managers, and designated employer representatives compare program options.

Before choosing a provider, ask about:

The software and method used to generate selections
The process for updating covered employee pools
Facility collection and on-site testing options
Record delivery to authorized employer contacts
Policy creation and implementation support
DOT program management and audit preparation

A random consortium may suit a smaller employer seeking third-party assistance with selections and administration. Participation doesn’t replace the employer’s responsibility to maintain an appropriate workplace policy or meet regulations that apply to its workforce.
