Reasonable suspicion drug testing is performed when an employer or trained supervisor may suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These tests cant be given randomly. They must be based on specific, tangible observations about an employees:
Supervisors arent the only ones required to learn about DOT drug testing requirements. The DOT also requires that employees receive training, and this training must be documented. The training tells employees who is required to be tested, the consequences of refusing to test and violating the DOT rules, when employees must be tested, and more. Just like with supervisor training, Concentra can provide you with online training for employees, too.
Supervisors are required to receive two types of training: Indicators of Probable Drug Use, and Indicators of Probable Alcohol Use. The Department of Transportation requires documentation that the trainings have been completed, and recommends recurring training as a best practice. Concentra can provide your company with online training that meets DOT requirements for these courses, as well as the necessary documentation.

Drug testing is an important part of the hiring process and routine maintenance of owning a company for many reasons. Its proven to be the best preventive measure in ensuring the safety of your workplace. Employee drug use increases the risk of an accident, therefore doing everything in your power to make sure it is not taking place in your company is crucial.
Your industry may also legally be required to enforce drug testing. Congress passed a law in 1988 requiring any company employed in some way by the federal government to maintain a drug-free workplace. If you own a business regulated by the Department of Labor or Department of Transportation, it is required by law that you drug test your employees as well as schedule periodic physicals and tests.
Four typical needs for employment drug testing are pre-placementdrug testing, drug testing when there is a reasonable suspicion or cause, regular random drug testing, and post-accident drug testing. Concentra drug testing can use any of four sample types: urine, blood, saliva, and hair follicle.
Not every service offered is appropriate for use by all employers in every state. Always consult your legal or human resources advisors to determine which services are appropriate for your specific circumstances.

Online registration generates secure test documents your employee brings to a nearby Concentra medical center. Notifications alert you when a drug test is complete, if additional lab analysis is needed, and when results are ready. With rapid drug testing, negative results are available in minutes.
Pre-employment drug tests are drug tests given to job candidates after a job offer is extended, but before they start their first day of work. Employment may be conditional on passing the pre-employment drug test.
There isnt a special type of drug test thats reserved for pre-employment. Employers can use hair drug tests, urine drug tests, saliva drug tests or other drug tests for their pre-employment drug screenings.
If youve decided to require potential employees to pass a pre-employment drug test before they start work, youll need to decide what substances you want to test for, and what type of drug test you want employees to take. Some employers only want their pre-employment drug tests to screen for one specific substance, while others want to be able to screen for all substances and for as far back as possible.
