Third Party Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

Our Third Party Drug and Alcohol Testing Program provides comprehensive, compliant testing solutions to ensure a safe, drug-free workplace for your business. Designed to meet federal and state regulations, our services cover everything from collection and testing to documentation and reporting, keeping your team compliant, efficient, and safe on the job.

Who is Subject to the Regulations

All safety-sensitive employees, particularly those in industries regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), are subject to drug and alcohol testing regulations. This includes commercial drivers, transportation personnel, and other roles where impairment could compromise the safety of others. Employers are required to implement these testing programs to monitor compliance and reduce the risk of incidents related to substance misuse.

Service Providers

Our program includes a network of certified professionals and facilities dedicated to delivering accurate and efficient testing results:

• Collection Facilities: We partner with certified collection sites to ensure safe and convenient sample collection in a controlled environment.
• Laboratories: Accredited labs conduct the analysis of all collected samples, ensuring that results are precise and timely.
• Medical Review Officers (MROs): Licensed physicians oversee positive test results, working to confirm their validity and ruling out any authorized medication explanations.
• Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs): SAPs provide evaluations and recommend treatment for employees who test positive or violate drug and alcohol regulations.
• Third Party Administrator (TPA): As a TPA, we manage all aspects of your testing program, from scheduling and documentation to result reporting and compliance tracking.

When Will Testing Be Conducted

Our program covers a range of testing scenarios to meet both federal requirements and specific company policies:

• Pre-employment: Testing for all new hires to ensure a drug-free workplace from day one.
• Random Employee Selection: Regular, random testing to deter substance misuse, either individually per company or through a multiple-company driver consortium pool.
• Reasonable Suspicion: Testing employees when there is reason to believe they may be under the influence based on behavior or appearance.
• Post-accident: Ensuring compliance after an accident, helping determine if substances contributed to the incident.
• Return-to-Duty: Required testing for employees returning to safety-sensitive duties after a violation.
• Follow-up: Additional, scheduled testing following a positive test result to monitor compliance and support long-term sobriety.

Which Drugs Will Be Tested For

Testing screens for a range of commonly misused substances, including but not limited to:

• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Amphetamines
• Opiates
• Phencyclidine (PCP)

This selection is designed to cover federally regulated drugs, ensuring compliance with DOT standards and other regulatory guidelines.

• Files: Comprehensive maintenance of all necessary employee and testing records.
• Consents: Ensuring all employees provide consent for testing in alignment with regulatory requirements.
• Notifications: Transparent and timely notification of test results and any required actions.
