With the economy the way it is, companies are trying to cut costs and prevent excessive downtime in the safest manner possible. Many industries require employees to submit to mandatory drug testing to prevent the use of illegal drugs, or the misuse of alcohol or legal prescription medication. Drug abuse often contributes to workplace accidents and frequent absenteeism by the users. With the use of mobile drug testing, problems can be identified and prevented before they take place or get out of hand.
Before, employees had to leave the worksite and travel to another facility to give samples. Hours could be wasted between travel time and waiting for the appointment. With current technology, you can have the test site brought to you, wherever and whenever you schedule it.
Employees will be able to continue working right up until the time of their individual test, and return right after completion. There is no chance of the workplace being held responsible for any accidents that may have happened during travel to and from a remote testing site. This means less time is taken from the work day and less money lost.
Test companies also save company staff time and money by coordinating and managing the entire specimen collection and testing process. They provide all the equipment, FDA-approved reagents and staff necessary for the collection process, and transport it all to your location, no matter how remote it may be. Many provide counseling or administer rehab programs for any employees who have positive results. Some even offer services for interpreting and keeping records of the results. Choose a company based on your needs and environment.
Most industries require urine collection for employee samples, however mobile facilities are usually capable of screening breath alcohol, hair and oral fluid as well. Urine collection for screening requires sterile conditions and preparation of the area before hand. Hiring mobile testers is easier on all involved since they are familiar with the protocols involved. The cost of these service depends on location and availability of proper site, or bringing one in, and the number of employees and the number of shifts they work and when.
Collectors are trained to ensure standard procedures are followed so that any adverse results are admissible should a court case arise. A third party involved keeps the chain of custody and ensures no tampering or errors by company employees. They are also responsible for all necessary paperwork and filling it out properly.
It is possible to request customized programs to suit specific industry requirements since standard procedures are closely followed. Select from screening for pre-employment, random tests, or reasonable suspicion to determine if an employee is ready to return to duty, as a follow-up to an incident, or post-accident if chance of exposure may have occurred.
Making sure the environment remains drug free will lead to greater productivity and fewer accidents. Employee absenteeism and compensation claims should also diminish. The ease and convenience of mobile drug testing will facilitate mass hiring processes and get employees on the job sooner. Greater production and less downtime should lead to higher profits and a happier work place for all.
