Employee screening programs are instrumental in detecting drug users and effectively deterring drug use in the workplace. Since the inception of employee drug screenings in the 1980s, there has been a consistent decline in drug use among workers subject to testing.
For companies not federally regulated (e.g., by the U.S. DOT), employers generally have considerable flexibility (within the bounds of state and local laws) in how they administer employee drug screening.

Employee drug testing serves various crucial purposes within workplace environments. While pre-employment testing is common, there are several other important reasons why employers implement drug testing policies:

Drug Testing Types

• Pre-employment Testing: Conducted after a conditional job offer, pre-employment screening helps employers ensure they are hiring individuals free from drug use. It serves as both a screening tool and a deterrent for potential applicants.
• Random Testing: Utilizing a computer-generated selection process, random drug tests apply to current employees without prior notice. This method helps maintain a drug-free workplace by deterring substance use among employees.
• Periodic Testing: Scheduled throughout the year, periodic testing involves screening current employees at regular intervals. This method is often combined with annual physicals to promote overall workplace health and safety.
• Post-Accident Testing: Conducted following workplace incidents as defined by company policy or regulatory requirements, post-accident testing aims to determine if drugs may have contributed to the incident. This type of testing is crucial for maintaining safety and compliance, particularly under OSHA guidelines.
• Reasonable Suspicion Testing: Also known as for-cause testing, this is triggered when supervisors observe specific, objective signs of drug use in an employee. It requires trained supervisors to make informed decisions based on observable behaviors or physical symptoms.
• Return-to-Duty Testing: For employees who have previously violated drug policies, return-to-duty testing occurs after completing a rehabilitation program. This ensures employees are fit to return to work and comply with company policies.
• Follow-Up Testing: Subsequent to a return-to-duty test, follow-up tests monitor employees to ensure continued compliance with policies over a specified period.

Implementing comprehensive drug policies promotes workplace safety and enhances productivity and fosters a healthier work environment for all employees.
