EMPLOYMENT DRUG SCREENING / BACKGROUND SEARCH / WELLNESS

The courts and the public are holding American employers responsible for the behavior of their substance-using employees. Not only do alcohol and other drugs affect profitability of companies, they also affect the health, safety and productivity of workers.

Productivity	Substance users are 33 percent to 50 percent less productive.
Absenteeism	Users are absent an average of three weeks or more per year and are tardy three times more often than non-users.
Accidents	Users are three to four times more likely to have an accident on the job and five times more likely to file a workers’ compensation claim.
Medical claims	Substance users file 300 percent to 400 percent more costly medical claims.
Employee theft	An estimated 50 percent to 80 percent of all pilferage, theft and loss is due to substance-using employees.

Hair Follicle Drug Screen	While some drug metabolites are not detectable in urine for long periods of time, they can remain embedded in the shaft of hair for months. 48 hr results, no adulterations possible, court admissible. There is a big advantage of hair testing for employment drug screening compared to Urine Drug Screening. Person may stop using drugs for 3 days to 2 weeks prior to applying for a job. With urine drug testing, there is a good chance that the applicant will test negative and then start using again once they are hired in. There is also the chance of adultering the specimen with Urine Drug Testing. Our Urine Drug Tests detect the most available adulterants however a new adulterant hits the market almost each day.

Pre-employment drug testing	This is by far the most common type of drug test used by businesses, however, it is also the least effective. It is considered to be an "intelligence test" by drug testing professionals. It has the advantage of being inexpensive, since only one test per employee needs to be paid for by the company. However, since most pre-employment drug testing is urine-based and subject to sample adulteration or substitution.
Random drug testing	Random drug testing is the most effective format. In the USA, random drug testing is used by a growing number of corporations, drug rehab centers, prisons, the military, police and fire departments, government agencies, and more recently, schools. Currently, this method is used in 23 of the 50 United States. It may also be used on teens by their parents, or mandated to be performed at school. The objective of a random drug test is deterrence, as the threat of detection is much higher versus other testing methods. Various random selection methods are used, ranging from drawing names out of a hat to using random number generators. The goal of random testing is to discourage drug use among employees, inmates, or students by not telling anyone who or when or where they are to be tested in advance. In addition, random testing is more likely to catch cannabis users, since THC metabolites are fat soluble and have a longer duration in the body than those of many other drugs. Because of this, it can indirectly encourage the use of much more dangerous and harmful drugs that are excreted from the body faster.
Post-incident drug testing	Post-incident drug testing is a less commonly administered test compared to the other two, but the financial ramifications of not testing employees after an accident (or other incident) on the job makes this test worthwhile for most businesses. The point of this test is not necessarily to cause the employee to lose his or her job, but rather to protect the company from liability in the event that the individual is under the influence at the time of the accident. DUI testing would also fall into this category.

MRO qualifications require that the MRO is licensed as a medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) in any one state. The MRO must have knowledge of substance abuse disorders, plus clinical experience. The MRO must pass a certification test by a nationally recognized MRO certification board (e.g., ASAM, MROCC, AAMRO and complete a mandated training curriculum. MROs do not work for the laboratory nor do they have a financial relationship with the laboratory. Miami Lab maintains this independent relationship with the MRO in all of its operations.
