Drug Testing

Drug testing is the process of screening employees or job applicants for the presence of illegal drugs or alcohol in their system. Employers may require drug testing as part of pre-employment screening, random testing during employment, or testing after workplace accidents or incidents. Drug testing can involve urine, blood, saliva, or hair samples, and is typically conducted by a certified laboratory. Many organizations implement drug testing policies to promote a safe and productive workplace, reduce workplace accidents, and comply with federal or state regulations, especially in industries like transportation, healthcare, or manufacturing. Drug testing policies must comply with privacy rights and ensure non-discriminatory practices.
