About for-cause and post-incident drug testing
Types of for-cause and post-incident drug testing
We have a comprehensive set of drug tests suitable for this purpose.
- Urine laboratory drug testing
- Urine point of care drug screening
- Oral fluid (saliva) laboratory drug testing
- Oral fluid (saliva) point of care drug screening
The most popular method used by organisations for this purpose is point of care drug screening, with a breath alcohol test. Laboratory drug testing tends to be used as a confirmatory method for when non-negative drug screening results are obtained. It's important to remember that any disciplinary action resulting from an investigation involving drugs or alcohol must have a laboratory result in place as legally defensible evidence.
In addition, urinalysis tends to be chosen rather than saliva drug testing. This is due to the longer detection window of drugs in urine compared to oral fluid samples. Therefore providing more evidence for any investigation.
Whatever your needs, our Clinical Account Managers will advise you on the best option given the immediate circumstances.

Alcohol testing in for-cause and post-incident circumstances
We offer alcohol testing in conjunction with drug testing at no extra charge.
Or, in the case of an alcohol related situation, we can attend and just perform a breath alcohol test using a Home Office approved breathalyser. Also, we can work to client defined cut-off levels, whether that be current drink drive levels, or industry specific standards.
In addition, we can analyse for alcohol markers in the same urine sample that is to be drug tested in the laboratory. This is normally used when a breath alcohol test is not available.
Our Clinical Account Managers will advise you on the best alcohol testing option dependant on the circumstances.
