Substance Abuse Testing
If you don’t have a corporate substance abuse policy and your workplace isn’t drug free, you are considered to be the “employer of choice” for users, abusers and addicts
An estimated 66 percent of drug users are employed. Substance abusers in the workplace jeopardize worker and customer safety and undermine company profitability.
HealthWorks provides testing for drug abuse and alcohol misuse. Trained staff members are responsible for specimen collection and execution of all chain-of-custody documentation.
Medical Review Officer (MRO) review and certification services are provided by five on-staff Medical Review Officers.
HealthWorks can also assist in the process of developing a corporate substance abuse program, and drafting a policy for review by the employer’s corporate attorney.
Evidential Breath Testing, provided by certified Breath Alcohol Technicians (BATs) includes both breath alcohol screening and confirmation testing, when necessary.
HealthWorks’ clients requiring around-the-clock access to drug and alcohol testing may register for the HealthWorks’ 24-hour testing services program through Health Network Labs. Registration can include technician dispatch on site for reasonable suspicion or post-incident testing as well as to any Lehigh Valley Health Network hospital emergency department for testing post-accident.
In addition to collection and complete testing and MRO services, HealthWorks offers “rapid results” testing that will detect negative results within several minutes. Rapid results testing facilitates pre-placement screening so the applicant can fill the job quickly, and expedites post-accident/post-incident/reasonable suspicion testing so the employee can return to duty immediately.
