  • Our company is looking into using on-site testing devices for certain situations.  Are these devices legal in all states?  Is on-site testing legal in all states?
  • Our company has mostly smaller groups of employees spread out over several states. None of our employees are directly mandated to be tested under federal regulations. Do we have to follow any specific rules to conduct a basic company drug-screening program?
  • A colleague recently suggested that our company might be able to reduce our workers' compensation premiums by following certain guidelines when we conduct our company drug testing program, is this possible?
  • Our company has some operations in California. One of my HR staff members has brought to my attention the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. Neither my present nor any of my previous drug test providers ever brought this legislation to my attention. Can you tell me how this legislation might affect how we conduct drug screening in this state?
  • Our company is just now starting to put together a drug testing policy for our applicants and employees.  The biggest concern we have is simply staying out of court. What can we do to achieve this goal?
