Pervasive in American culture today is the use of illicit drugs in the workplace. This insidious national epidemic robs employers of millions of productive work-hours each year and disrupts employee morale. There can be no upside to illegal drug use by employees.
Why test for Drugs? and Common Drug Use Myths
Poor quality workmanship, increased accidents and absenteeism are only the tip of the iceberg. Even the recreational use of illegal drugs presents a problem, as the effects don’t necessarily wear off by Monday morning. Regular drug users are two-and-a-half times more likely to be absent from work, are one-third less productive and are 50 percent more likely to steal from their company. Nearly half of all workers' compensation claims involve substance abuse. Drug Use in the Workplace
 The HIRE-SAFE pre-employment drug screening program maintains a network of nationwide SAMHSA-certified drug testing collection sites with GC/MS confirmation testing facilities staffed with professional technicians. We are available for Hair, Breath and Urine Testing (Pre-Employment, Post-Accident, Random and Reasonable Suspicion). We also provide Supervisor Drug Awareness Training and consolidated invoicing with all of our background check and screening services. An employer has the option to utilize an offsite drug testing collection site, or the new instant saliva drug testing devices. Drugs and Crime Statistics (US Dept of Justice)

Drug Testing Collection Site Locations
When your drug testing account was setup your Patient Service Center (PSC) collection site was provided to you based upon your location. Either LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics was assigned to your account and the appropriate Custody Control Forms (CCF) were sent to you. These forms are NOT interchangeable between the two different PSC’s. If a different PSC is requested please contact HIRE-SAFE and new CCF’s will be sent to you.
