More than ever, companies will be looking for safe and timely
drug testing methods to batle these issues. In fact, it has become industry standard over the last 20 years for companies to take proactive steps to ensure drivers are not operating under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. As such, drug testing centers play a vital role in ensuring compliance within the workplace, maintaining safety of employees/staff, and meeting the legal and regulatory standards at both the provincial and federal levels, while providing a critical service to assist front-line medical professionals, paramedics, police officers, and physicians. In fact, these centers provide timely and life-saving measures in a simple and non-evasive manner, while also providing reliable results within minutes—and there has never been a greater need than there is today. ❚
