Drug Testing Q&A

What Is Drug Testing?

Drug testing detects the presence of certain drugs or alcohol that could impair an individual's ability to work safely. Employers often require drug testing as part of their workplace safety program, particularly in industries where employees operate commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, or work in safety-sensitive positions.

Monument Occupational Medicine provides reliable testing services with accurate reporting and professional documentation for employers.

When Is Drug Testing Required?

Drug testing may be required for several reasons, including:

• Pre-employment screening
• Random workplace testing
• Reasonable suspicion testing
• Post-accident or post-incident testing
• Return-to-duty testing
• Follow-up testing as required by employer policy or applicable regulations

Our team works with employers to provide testing that meets their workplace requirements.

What Types of Drug Testing Do You Offer?

Monument Occupational Medicine offers several types of workplace drug testing.

Urine Drug Testing

Urine drug testing is the most commonly requested screening method for employment purposes. It detects many commonly abused substances and is widely used for pre-employment and workplace testing programs.

Blood Testing

Blood testing may be used when recent drug or alcohol use must be evaluated. This type of testing is less common and is generally performed only in specific situations.

Hair Follicle Drug Testing

Hair testing can identify drug use over a longer detection period than urine testing and may be requested by some employers depending on company policy.

How Long Does Drug Testing Take?

Most drug testing appointments are completed in 15 to 30 minutes. Laboratory turnaround times vary depending on the type of test requested and whether additional confirmation testing is needed.

Negative results are often available quickly, while non-negative results may require confirmatory laboratory analysis before they are reported.

What Should I Bring to My Appointment?

Please bring:

• A valid photo ID
• Any employer paperwork or testing authorization forms
• Any additional documentation requested by your employer

Following your employer's instructions helps ensure the testing process goes smoothly.
