Onsite Drug and Alcohol Testing

All workplaces face the risk of unsafe use of drugs or alcohol. This can have a financial impact on the business. Incidents can cause injuries for the affected worker, their colleagues, or even customers and the general public. We offer an onsite drug and alcohol testing service to help create a work environment that is safe for everyone from drug and/or alcohol abuse.

Methamphetamine Surface Testing

Meth residue screening helps to ensure the safety and reduce liability risks within a new property before new owners or tenants move in.   Regular testing provides a deterrent to meth use and manufacture which can also detect contamination problems early when they are easier to rectify.
