Why Should You Attend:

Since development of inexpensive, high quality drug testing technology in the 1980s, workplace drug and alcohol testing has grown explosively. Federal regulations govern over ten million workers in “safety-sensitive jobs.” Private employers test more than thirty million additional workers, often with expanded drug and alcohol testing panels. This course will help employers determine whether to conduct drug testing and, if so, how to follow state-of-the-art practices for quality, effectiveness and legal compliance.

This highly-interactive overview will address both federally-regulated drug testing (often viewed as the “gold standard”) and more diverse non-federally regulated drug testing programs. It will discuss the prevalence of substance abuse and why drug testing has been so well accepted. The course will address responsibilities and requirements of those who review positive drug tests to determine whether there is an acceptable medical explanation (e.g., prescription drugs). This includes:

  • Employers
  • Specimen collectors
  • Laboratories
  • Medical review officers

Efforts to “beat the tests” will be examined in light of improved specimen validity testing. The session will close with a discussion on current issues and controversies (including medical marijuana), future trends and where the field is heading.
