In this day and age, time is money. Companies are looking for ways to save money and cut downtime without sacrificing safety. Drug and alcohol screening has become mandatory in many industries. Whether alcohol, illegal drugs or overuse of prescription medications, misuse can lead to serious accidents and excessive employee absences. Mobile drug testing is a cost effective way to prevent problems before they occur.
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.
Management of all the steps in the collection process of the specimens is the responsibility of the testing company. All equipment, any FDA approved reagent used and any staff needed to collect and analyze will all be organized and transported to the site. Many will also administer drug programs or counseling to those who show drug use, and some will help with interpreting test results and storing records of the results.
Mobile facilities are capable of performing many kinds of tests including urine, hair, oral fluid and breath alcohol. Most often the specimens that are collected from employees are urine. The procedure requires certain sterile conditions as well as preparation of the area before collection to prevent any tampering or contamination. Mobile facilities make the process easier for everyone. Cost will depend on your location and the availability of a collection site or the need for one to be provided. The number of employees, the number of shifts and days of work are also a factor.
To avoid contamination or tampering if there is a possibility that test results will be used in court, trained collectors keep the chain of custody so results are admissible. This way no employee errors will crop up. The collecting agency is also familiar with and responsible for all the paperwork necessary.
Customization of drug screening programs allows companies to meet their own industry regulated requirements. Whether used for pre-employment, random tests, reasonable suspicion, to allow an employee to return to duty, as a follow-up procedure or as post-accident testing, chosen options will be carried out by trained individuals with established protocols in place.
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.
