We dropped alcohol testing for new hires since it's not illegal to have a drink. It is against policy to drink and work.  
If there is a positive saliva test we do urine ( chain of custody). 
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mary,

If the saliva test is positive do you then back it up with a blood test or breathalyzer?

 

 

Respectfully,

I am interested to know which method your institution used to conduct their post offer drug screens:

 

1.       Urine

2.       Blood

3.       Saliva- is anyone using this method at this point?
