• Ensure your drug test panel is effective for non-DOT compliance and follow regulated employee-testing guidelines.


• Have a comprehensive definition of “refusal to test.”


• Ensure your post-accident testing provision is effective and meets OSHA guidelines.


• Te DER should also make sure the policy is being applied in a reasonable and consistent manner. Compliance with a policy can be recorded in various ways. Maintain training records for drug and alcohol education. All absence, accident, and work performance records should be reviewed regularly.


• Testing results information is also a valuable monitoring tool as well. Look at


your negative results as the marker of a successful policy.


Choose a good drug testing service provider.


If your policy includes testing, remember that your service provider should be a good source of information for implementing a drug testing program. When involved early in the policy- creation process, the service provider can give valuable help. A good drug/alcohol service provider will have properly trained and certified collection technicians. Tey should also have a Certified Professional Collector on-site. A good drug/alcohol service provider can also assist you with training for your supervisors. ❚
