I am curious as to what other facilities are using as their drug screen methods for the following:

Pre-employment

Randoms

Reasonable suspicion/cause or other mandatory

 

I am researching with plans to change our methods due to continuous reports and the new creative ways employees are coming up with in hopes of avoiding a positive result; such as, devices, using someone else’s urine & maintaining adequate temp and actually have had 1 reported method where someone was injecting via catheter “homemade” urine who was eventually caught.

 

 

 

 

Thank you,
