YOUR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM
|
We
offer comprehensive drug & alcohol testing services to companies
anywhere in the U. S. A simple phone call to our office at 800-315-8606
will begin a procedure that will have your organization set up to perform
testing in just a few days time; faster in an emergency. From creating your in-house policy statement, which is essential to bring you into legal compliance, to the establishment of the systems and procedures and the selection of your drug collection sites, we can help you to make the most efficient cost and operational decisions. Remember that in 1999 almost 15 million Americans age 12 or older regularly used illicit drugs. This is not a problem that you can ignore. Act now by calling us. OFF-SITE TESTING: For
conventional pre-employment testing you will be assigned
to a site that meets your needs. They will be provided with special
pre-coded forms. You can elect either a 9 panel EMIT w/CG-Mass Spectrometry
verification or the Immunoassay method used in the DOT protocol (the
latter is now recommended.) The site does the collection and sends the
results to the assigned Lab. The Lab's report comes to ERS and is forwarded
by fax to you. Report turnaround time is approximately 24 hrs. Alternatively
using the DOT Protocol the client is assigned to a specific
collection point(s) to serve their needs. A NIDA approved screen complete
with Chain of Custody and Medical Office Review is conducted using the
two-sample method. Exact DOT specifications for collection, random testing,
reporting, and records retention are followed. We provide special services
related to random testing and the grouping of smaller clients into their
Consortiums. Year-end compliance reports are provided to all clients. Optionally
DOT Look-a-like is similar to the DOT level but set up for non-mandated
employees where the employer wants to follow that regimen. Caution must
be exercised that this test does not run afoul of local ordinances.
If permissible in your area, this is a better alternative than conventional
testing for protection against nuisance suits, and one that is likely
to produce better long-term results. Both the Chain-of-custody and the
Medical Officer Review protocols are used. There is a slight cost premium
for this service versus pre-employment testing. Self Testing Methods: We
currently offer our clients nine separate self-testing mediums to test
both for drugs and for alcohol. For exact information on these mediums
please call 1-800-315-8606. Since
in excess of 66% of all for-cause testing produces a negative result,
the use of the precursor method can save you large sums of money in
testing costs and loss of services while the employee is away for testing.
Self-testing is not for all clients. However, if you are motivated to
reduce costs and to keep your employees on site to reduce labor expenses,
self-testing is a viable and very accurate alternative. It is easy to
set up and easy to use! Summary: Whether
on-site or via a nationally certified laboratory, we provide a variety
of drug testing options. Our database of collector locations and device
vendors assures convenience as well as reliability. For mandated subjects
we provide year-end summary reports on the scope and results of the
tests given to that group during the year. We provide both single-source
accountability and absolute reliability that can handle your needs anywhere
in the Country. We
can also provide products and services related to drug and alcohol testing.
Let us provide training manual, assistance in setting up your original
policy statement, training devices for self-training mandated "for-cause"
supervisors, and in consultation to help you set up both a drug
free workplace program, and your drug testing program that meets all
legal requirements. Call 800-315-8606 when you want to set up your drug/alcohol or physical testing program. |
