Drug and Alcohol Testing Coordination

VALUE

Drug and alcohol testing is only one element, albeit a very important tool, to establish and maintain a substance abuse prevention program. DSG assists its clients in establishing or modifying its testing program by working with the client and with vendors providing testing services to ensure that the testing program supports the company’s policy, is legally sound and is generating the best return on investment. Having the right combination of testing and testing technologies enables the company to:

Minimize the potential of hiring substance abusers
Reinforce the company position on drug and alcohol use and abuse
Identify current users and abusers
Convince "casual users" that the cost of using is too high
Deter "recreational" drug use that could lead to safety issues and addiction
Reduce the costs of alcohol and drug abuse in the workplace
Give recovering users another reason to stay sober (relapse prevention).
Comply with Federal regulations, e.g., the DOT/FMCSA
Comply with customer or contractual requirements
Comply with insurance carrier requirements

DESCRIPTION

DSG will review and evaluate the existing testing program and, as appropriate, identify new testing, options, methodologies and services. The evaluation includes:

testing methodologies including urine, breath, oral fluids, blood and hair testing
rapid testing
on site testing
blending methodologies and technologies
panel options
specimen collection procedures
certified laboratory
certified Medical Review Officer (MRO)

Client Comments:

“Moving forward with drug and alcohol testing was a big decision for us and one that had a lot of questions and concerns. But with your guidance, vast knowledge and support, we are up and going and have full confidence in what we are doing and the services that we are receiving . . . and yes we have gotten some positive test results that surprised us!”

With your assistance we restructured our testing program to better fit our unique needs. We modified when testing will occur and combined a mix of technologies that are more compatible to our operations . . . . AND our managers are more responsive to the program and we are saving money!”

"From the start to finish you were there to provide us with guidance and, most impressive, was your knowledge and expertise on this subject. No matter what the question or circumstances that arose, you were available to provide us information that would help us make the decision that best fits our culture, rather than one size fits all.”
