In many workplaces, the common practice of relying on third-party providers for drug and alcohol testing often poses several challenges in employee testing. These issues range from high costs and delayed results to potential breaches of confidentiality and the risk of 'fatal flaws' in testing procedures. Errors by external providers can invalidate test results, leading to legal complications and eroding employee trust and morale due to a perceived loss of control over the testing process.
Our curated bundle of training courses is specifically designed to address these challenges effectively. Within this training package, you'll find courses covering five distinct testing modalities: DOT and non-DOT urine, oral fluid, and breath alcohol. We also provide essential training in non-DOT drug and alcohol program management and DOT and non-DOT reasonable suspicion. For DOT-regulated employers, additional agency-specific DER training can purchased separately.
For organizations seeking to train multiple individuals in drug and breath alcohol testing, our train-the-trainer for drug and alcohol testing empowers corporate trainers to conduct mock collections, and upon earning qualifications, trainers can utilize our current and up-to-date courseware in our learning system or license SCORM-compliant courseware for third-party learning systems. This approach ensures both cost-effectiveness and effortless scalability to meet specific training needs.
In addition to collector and technician qualification training, our team facilitates connections with SAMHSA-certified laboratories and trusted suppliers, allowing employers and their collectors to access the tools and resources for a robust testing program. This includes testing supplies, such as, but not limited to, collection cups, forms, instant tests, and technology.
Developed by attorney Andrew Easler, a renowned subject matter expert in drug and alcohol testing, our training programs go beyond the qualification of designated employees to conduct testing. They offer a deep understanding of the subject, practical skills, and legal insights. Choosing in-house testing goes beyond cost reduction; it demonstrates a dedication to creating a secure, legally compliant, and efficient workplace, ultimately fostering a more dependable and trustworthy work environment.
Transitioning to in-house drug and alcohol testing strategically addresses the challenges of relying on third-party providers, resulting in significant cost reductions and improved operational efficiency. When organizations take control of their testing processes, they immediately realize cost savings, eliminating expenses typically associated with external testing, such as sample collection and result analysis.
Conducting employee drug and alcohol testing in-house, without relying on third-party collection sites, provides significant benefits to employers with large workforces or frequent testing needs. This approach eliminates the logistical and financial burdens of transporting employees to and from external testing sites, which becomes even more critical when considering the potential risks of accidents during transportation. By bringing testing in-house, organizations reduce logistical and drug testing costs and gain the advantage of purchasing supplies in bulk at more economical rates, bypassing additional charges from third-party providers.
