(prHWY.com) January 4, 2013 - Provo,, UT -- Corporates are aware of the problem of drug addiction, the impact it can have on their production line, employee wellbeing etc. Naturally, given this some of the top corporates have taken to enforcing a mandatory screening process for all current employees and applicants. These checks are vary over different periods and can take place at any time. No advance notification is issued but a memo is usually sent, calling for employees to prep for the drug screening. Most companies, in accordance with federal law do have a set protocol in place, which they use, from asking employees to submit for saliva drug testing.
Companies have started to pay more attention to the issue of drug addiction and the fact that they can be held liable since any employee, while under influence, and can lead to an unsafe workplace. Currently, there are several pending cases where litigants have claimed "emotional stress due to unsafe workplace". Some courts have even ruled that it is the sole responsibility of the company to check employees regularly, report any cases, and take effective measures to ensure a safe working environment.
It is all in the saliva:
Here is some info on saliva drug testing and kits, they are low cost and non-invasive and can be used effectively to check for drugs and other related substances. All these kits require the person to donate their saliva or a sample by literally licking the test. After a few minutes, the band should start to discolor indicating the presence of anything from opiates to meth. Since drug traces are present in our body for more than 12 hours, this is a foolproof method to check for the presence of Heroin, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, and other substances.
The process:
The process of testing an employee is simple and usually, requires the person to place the kit inside their mouth, allowing a test sample to be registered. Once the sample is provided, the antigen dyes should react to the saliva, discoloring the strips. Once done, the process should take no more than 5 minutes to indicate the results.
Employees should be aware of the drug protocol in their place of employment and must comply with all the random checks. The period for each test cycle varies and depends on the company. However, most companies, by law, are obliged to carry out a specific number of tests over a period of 6 months.
