#LAB-MRO Service - Medical Review Officer
review / confirmation of Lab results.
Our Laboratory is a fully licensed and
accredited toxicology laboratory and has SAMHSA/DHHS (formerly
NIDA) certification for toxicology testing.
Substance abuse testing is required by
Federal and State statutes for many safety sensitive positions.
Testing has also become an integral part of many employers'
health and safety programs. Studies have shown employees who are
substance abusers are:
Less
productive
Use more
sick days
Use more
medical benefits
More likely
to have on-the-job accidents Aside from these costs, the
impact on non-using employees who feel anger and resentment
toward the abuser affects company morale and profitability.
Why Utilize Worksite Substance Abuse Testing?
To comply
with federally mandated employee drug testing.
To provide a
drug-free workplace environment for employees.
To monitor a
patient in treatment.
Our Laboratory can offer a program to meet
all of your needs. Through chain-of-custody procedures and
Medical Review Officer evaluation, Our Laboratory will provide
fully defensible results, in a timely manner, which comply with
the requirements of the Federal Drug Free Workplace Act and
Omnibus Crime Legislation.
While the main focus is on laboratory
testing, Our Laboratory is able to provide assistance in all
facets of a comprehensive substance abuse testing program
including on-site rapid drug testing.

consists of the following major components:
