We have years of expertise in customized pre-employment drug check solutions scaled to your unique operational needs.
Pre-employment drug testing has become standard across most industries to provide a safe working environment and mitigate company risks. Pre-employment testing involves analyzing urine, hair, or saliva samples for evidence of drug use, most commonly marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, and PCP.
Key goals of pre-employment drug screening are to promote workplace safety and productivity by reducing absenteeism, accidents, poor decisions, and legal liability. Testing also aims to minimize workers’ compensation claims and comply with regulatory requirements for safety-sensitive roles. Positive drug tests indicate recent use or addiction issues that may jeopardize employees’ ability to perform jobs safely and conscientiously. Implementing pre-employment screening demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being and risk management.
In addition to pre-employment testing, many employers also conduct random drug testing and reasonable suspicion drug tests of current employees. Implementing an ongoing workplace drug testing policy promotes heightened safety and productivity by detecting drug abuse issues that can develop during employment.
We provide a range of pre-employment drug and alcohol screening options tailored to Department of Transportation regulations and customized non-DOT programs designed around your organization’s workforce risk factors. Our testing capabilities allow companies to screen candidates for recent or long-term substance abuse spanning hundreds of prescription, over-the-counter, and illicit drugs.
For roles requiring Department of Transportation compliance, we ensure testing follows proper protocols as mandated by the DOT. This screens for intoxicating substances like marijuana, cocaine, opioids, and amphetamines.
Beyond DOT criteria, companies can work with us to tailor testing plans screening for hundreds of prescription, over-the-counter, and illicit substances based on your workforce function and risk levels associated with specific occupations.
Depending on your workplace category and substance abuse risks identified, supplementary checks can include alcohol breathalyzers plus customized nicotine screenings evaluating tobacco use. If steroids pose concerns for desired physical fitness, we offer tailored tests detecting anabolic agent abuse.

Pre-employment testing panels usually screen for prescription medications like opioids, common illicit substances such as marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines, as well as alcohol. The specific drugs can vary based on the hiring company’s occupational requirements.
Most drug screening providers deliver pre-employment test results within 1-2 business days with urgent requests, sometimes receiving them in hours. Rapid turnarounds facilitate prompt hiring decisions after the candidate advances in the interview process.
In the case of failed pre-employment drug tests, additional review by a certifying Medical Review Officer would be done to investigate any potential false positive results. If the positive test is confirmed, those outcomes are communicated to the hiring employer to determine the appropriate next steps in accordance with pre-set drug screening protocols and compliance requirements before extending any offers.
