On Site Substance Abuse Testing
This
type of testing is suitable for pre-placement testing, post-accident or
reasonable suspicion testing. On-site substance abuse testing uses a rapid
multiple immunoassay system for qualitative detection of major drug
metabolites. The test results are available to the your company within
15 minutes of testing.
Laboratory Drug Testing
Confirmation
testing for on-site positive samples serves as legal documentation of
the drugs being used, as well as a quantitative measurement of the
drugs consumed.
Post accident testing requires
that the sample be sent to the laboratory without on-site screening
because the documentation provided by the lab may be used as legal
evidence.
Our Medical Review Officer
reviews all laboratory testing and reports all positive results to
your designated company official. For all samples that test negative,
results are available within 24 hours. Positive samples are tested at
the laboratory and results are not available for 48 hours.
Testing Procedures
Daltec
Occupational Health offers both mobile and in-office testing through
most of our locations across Canada. These collections are provided by
certified technicians who may provide on-site or laboratory testing or
breath alcohol testing.
Reasonable Suspicion Testing
For Supervisors
This
course is designed for those individuals who are responsible for
determining when a reasonable suspicion test should be administered.
The course will instruct each supervisor on identification,
documentation, approach and interaction with employees. The training
package contains activities that will help supervisors to identify the
physical, behavioral, speech and performance indicators of probable
alcohol misuse and drug abuse. It will discuss 'reasonable suspicion'
and give guidelines for approaching employees where reasonable
suspicion exists.
This training course meets the US federal regulations of 60 minutes of
alcohol misuse and 60 minutes of drug abuse training. The total time
allotted to cover all material is three hours @ $100.00 per hour. In
addition, a small room is required with a TV and VCR as well as an
overhead projector.
