Developing A Drug Testing Policy For Your Company
When should I test? Who will be tested? What type of tests should my company request? Should I test my employee when I suspect they are under the influence of a substance or after they have an accident? How do I implement a new policy for my employees?
These are just a few of the questions we have been asked throughout the years. American Toxicology can help to develop a drug testing policy by determining the best type of drug testing to suit the needs of y our industry.
The United States Department of Labor (USDL) has various resources and a wealth of information to help you through this process (see link below). Drug testing may seem like a costly part of the screening process but it’s not as much as you would think. American Toxicology has very competitive pricing and a variety of testing profiles to meet your company’s needs. In addition, many business insurance companies provide lower rates if you have a policy in place.
Having substance abuse testing as part of your screening process will assist in providing a safe drug free work environment for your current employees. If you want to keep your business free of drugs American Toxicology advises you to implement random drug testing. If you choose this as a part of your drug testing policy American Toxicology will assist you with onsite testing and in most/some cases special pricing based on the volume.
Finally, if an employee has an incident while working such as: Accident, injurers themselves or others, appears to be under the influence of a mind or mood altering substance, or suspected drug use you as the employer have the right to test that individual under the Post accident and/or Probable cause portion of a drug testing policy. In the long run the preventive testing will assist in less reported accident/injuries and keep your workers insurance lower.
