Drug Testing

Drug testing at our facility is done by obtaining a urine specimen. Our standard test, called the 10 panel test, screens for the most common substances. Additional drugs can be added to this test upon request. This test can be conducted via a secured urine drug test, or a triage drug screen or point of care testing kit.  A triage/POCT drug test provides instant results, but is not legally defensible in court. A secured urine drug screen is legally defensible, and results are verified by a laboratory. Positive urine drug samples are reviewed by our Medical Review Officer, Dr. Joel Yellin.  A positive drug result will be discussed with your employee and our MRO to determine an action plan.  The action plan can be aligned with your company policy and all regulatory bodies.

Please note: It is imperative that all employers with drivers entering the USA have a Drug and Alcohol policy for their company that complies with both American requirements and Canadian legislation. Ask us how we can help.

Alcohol Testing

Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) Single Drug Test Panel is a rapid test for the qualitative detection of Ethyl Glucuronide in human urine. ETG is a more accurate indicator of recent alcohol consumption than measuring for the presence of ethanol itself as the ETG metabolite remains in the body longer. ETG Test Panel is an accurate, fast and reliable tool for detecting Ethyl Glucuronide.

Please note, BAT (alcohol) testing is not available.
