Scheduling drug tests on the DFW site can seem like a lot of work. However, it has a variety of benefits. Knowing why you should schedule this will make it easier for you to spend the money and enjoy the convenience.
Not everyone has reliable transportation
You want to make sure you eliminate as many excuses as possible for why someone couldn’t get their test done on time. Unfortunately, not everyone has reliable transportation, and therefore it can be too much to ask people to go to a lab. The moment you ask people to do things on their own time, you start to see diminished participation.
The best solution is to offer drug testing where people are already on the premises. You can simply send them in for a drug test when they have been randomly selected.
Ensure full compliance
You must ensure that you fully comply with all rules and regulations. Particularly with DOT, on-site drug testing is preferred simply because it rules out various problems. You can have an MRO perform the tests and keep the records completely confidential. It also means tests go through fewer hands, making it easier for you to keep track of tests throughout the entire process.
Eliminate tampering
You know who your employees are and therefore you don’t have to worry about any kind of manipulation. If they are at your facility, you know they are where they are supposed to be. If you don’t offer on-site testing, you can never be quite sure whether your employees are drug testing or someone else is doing it for them. Also, you don’t know how legitimate the drug testing site can be, and you need to eliminate any potential tampering issues.
Look more professional
You will appear more professional when drug testing is done on site. It keeps your employees happier because they don’t have to go anywhere other than your facility. They also don’t have to do anything on their own personal time.
When drug testing is done on site, it can also be kept more organized in terms of the results and all the employee records.
Faster results
On-site testing is also known to be much faster than using a third-party lab. Quicker results are of the utmost importance because you don’t want to keep your candidates waiting, nor do you want to risk employees being on the roads when they have tested positive for drug use.
There are many reasons why you should schedule drug testing at DFW’s location. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than it sounds. You can save time, money, and be more professional when testing is done on site. Plus, you’re compliant and get faster results.
