A pre-access drug test is a screening done before granting individuals access to certain places or activities. It ensures that those entering sensitive areas, such as safety-critical workplaces are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
We offer pre-access drug testing services tailored for your needs. From simples tests to a comprehensive approach, we are able to manage employee data and documentation for you and assist in navigating sensitive employee relations. Positive results are re-tested to ensure reliability.
Our certified technicians are skilled at arranging off-site locations for mobile collections. We liaise for you between the company, laboratory, different collection sites, the Medical Review Officer, and external agencies.
We provide point-of-collect drug tests that yield immediate results, detecting the presence of specific drugs in an individual’s system. Our standard six-panel urine test identifies cocaine, THC (the active compound in marijuana), opiates, PCP, methamphetamines, and amphetamines.
Note that these tests do not quantify drug levels, rather they serve as an initial assessment to confirm the presence of drugs. They employ the same cut-off levels as lab-based tests. Our kits are equipped with an integrated adulteration strip to prevent any tampering with the urine sample.
Additionally, we offer other point-of-contact tests, including 7, 8, and 10-panel drug tests, encompassing a broader range of drugs. These extended tests are typically conducted when there is suspicion of prescription drug use. They can identify benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, oxycodone and other substances.
We offer alcohol breathalyzer testing services at our downtown clinic or on-site.
Our team is certified to conduct tests using the Phoenix 6.0 breath alcohol machine ensuring that we deliver legally defensible results to our clients.
For over a decade, we have been developing and maintaining tailored drug policies for our clients. Allow us to personalize, implement, and oversee your employee drug and alcohol testing initiatives, including the management of employee data and sensitive relations.
We also handle the procurement of essential supplies, forms, and documentation, and stand by your side during corporate policy reviews.
A workplace drug policy can enhance safety and productivity through a drug-free environment. They can also ensure legal compliance, support employee well-being, and reduce the risk of legal liability in workplace incidents. Call us to discuss how a workplace drug policy can benefit your company.
F.A.Q.s
Drug testing employees in Canada is subject to specific rules and guidelines. It’s typically permitted for certain safety-sensitive positions or given reasonable cause and the testing must be conducted according to the law and privacy regulations. Employers should be aware of the legal requirements and restrictions surrounding drug testing to ensure compliance.
Workplace drug testing enhances safety by deterring substance abuse and reducing the risk of accidents. A drug-free environment also fosters higher productivity. In some industries, legal compliance mandates drug testing to meet regulatory standards. Furthermore, prompt action reduces the risk of legal liability in workplace incidents. In essence, drug testing contributes to a safer, more productive, and compliant work environment.
