What Is Pre-Employment Drug Testing?
Pre-employment drug testing is a screening process used by employers to help determine whether an applicant has used certain drugs before beginning work. Testing is commonly performed after a conditional offer of employment and before the employee’s first day, based on the employer’s written drug-free workplace policy and applicable laws.
Accredited Drug Testing helps employers, staffing agencies, schools, contractors, government agencies, and individual applicants schedule pre-employment drug tests quickly and securely.
Common Pre-Employment Drug Testing Options
Employers may choose different testing methods based on job duties, company policy, industry requirements, detection window, and budget.
Urine Drug Testing
A widely used workplace testing option with flexible panel choices such as 5 panel, 10 panel, and expanded panel drug tests.
Hair Follicle Drug Testing
Often selected when employers want a longer detection window that may help identify patterns of drug use over time.
Oral Fluid Drug Testing
A convenient collection method that may be used for workplace testing programs, mobile testing, and rapid screening options.
Alcohol Testing
Employers may also request breath alcohol testing or other alcohol testing options as part of a workplace screening program.

Choose the drug testing panel, collection method, and location that matches your hiring requirements.
2. Send the Donor
