This method strongly discourages drug use in the workplace because it’s unannounced. Using a random selection process, employers select one or more employees from the group participating in the workplace drug testing program. The random nature ensures there is no bias and that all employees have an equal chance of being selected, even those who have been tested recently.
We offer 24/7 testing for employees who are involved in a workplace accident, usually leading to injury or property damage. The process confirms if drugs or alcohol were present in the system if testing is completed immediately after the incident.
This testing is performed when an employer has evidence or a reasonable cause for suspecting an employee of drug or alcohol use on the job. Specific reasons for testing include evidence of illegal substances, as well as erratic or abnormal behavior that interferes with completing job duties.
