If a donor wants to cheat, they will, and only the experienced collector will catch it. However, many potential cheaters are new to the game and may be deterred.
medical professionals to your bathroom can be just the deterrent needed to have someone think twice about cheating a drug test. At the very least, it puts them on notice that someone is watching. Since a bathroom is short on space and you wouldn’t want to add figures that can hide contraband, peel ‘n stick wall art or “fatheads” are just the ticket.
Meet the Chaperones A chaperone is a person who accompanies or supervises a person or group, usually responsible for their general safety with the specific intent of preventing inappropriate social interactions or banned activities (e.g. drug use or underage drinking). A chaperone is also defined as a guide or companion whose purpose is to ensure propriety or restrict activity. Two chaperones that appear in one
bathroom are Ashley and Mitchell. Ashley is a 5’8” medical professional that appears to be unflinching in her duty to ensure a real sample is provided to the collector. She stands opposite the toilet and speaks to the women providing a sample to the collector. Mitchell is a 6’2” steely-eyed medical
professional that seems determined to keep things on the up and up. He stands across the room next to the sink with arms folded and cannot be ignored by any male providing a sample to the collector. In one lab, there is an entire team of
medical professionals monitoring the happenings in the testing bathroom. Friendly, smiling, but present. That’s all they can do is be present in the minds of
the donor and provide a second thought about cheating. A comment sheet was provided to
collect thoughts about the bathroom graphics and many were eager to share over the last 2 years. As expected, some negative comments were received; for instance, Drew M called the graphics “creepy, unsetling,” and Brooklyn said “slightly creepy, but funny.” Surprisingly the majority see the chaperones as great fun. Alicia S. commented “It was fantastic. You guys have a great sense of humor. Tank you!” Laura G. commented “Loved the creepy guy on the wall! Very nice staff too!” Nancy L. said “I liked the company. [Tey] made sure I didn’t flush.” Renesha O. commented “Good Service, Clean bathroom. Nice [scorpion] sticker.” Some find them scary, most find them fun, but ironically, the donors prone to cheating have no comment. Could this be a “tell?”
The argumentative types In addition to the cheaters, there is another group of donors, made up of mostly cheaters, who believe the rules of drug testing don’t apply to them. Any instruction given by the collector is considered optional by them. I’m sure you’ve had a donor provide at least two samples where the first one was over temperature and the second is either under temperature or QNS (coming from the same botle tucked away in the pants or socks, no doubt.) Many will argue that they have already provided two samples and must leave the facility to pick up the kids from school, the aunt at the airport or get back to their present job before they get fired. Tey believe any sample they provide, even if it’s warmed mountain dew, should be accepted. Tis group requires a gentle reminder that samples accepted for testing are not determined by consensus. I actually had a donor that wanted to edit my comments on an electronic custody and control form.
