REASONS FOR DRUG TESTING

Pre - Employment Drug & Alcohol testing services gives employers the peace of mind they need to ensure they are hiring the right individual for the right job. Post Incident drug and alcohol testing is performed when an incident has occurred that cannot be explained by equipment failure. Inspec offers 24/7 emergency testing.

Pre - Access testing is performed when a worker is required to drug and alcohol test prior to site entrance. Inspec can assist employers in determining the correct test as different sites have different site requirements.

Reasonable cause is performed when your employee is observed to be behaving erratically at the workplace. It is important to prevent unnecessary accidents before they occur, thus, identify the signs and symptoms are very important.

Random Testing has been shown to be a successful deterrent drug and alcohol use in the workplace, thus improving workplace safety, frequency of WCB incidents and decreases employer liability.

Return to work testing is performed when an employee is returning from a leave of absence, medical leave, unforeseen circumstance, or substance abuse program.
