Colonial Testing Services (CTS) offers
assistance and services in the areas of program development, random
list generation, education/training, on-site testing, point-of-care
testing and innovative screening methods like hair-follicle testing.
CTS provides all of our clients with a drug testing
policy manual, along with the necessary forms and paperwork. We will
help you implement the policies and programs that will work best for
you. We also provide guidance with your important decisions, such as:
- What is the severity of your disciplinary
action?
- Zero tolerance—Termination (positives,
adulterants, refusals)
- Second chance—Termination with rights
to rehire upon negative return-to-work test
- Suspension—Suspension pending rehabilitation
and negative return-to-work test
- Will potential employees work or wait pending the
test results?
- What is the time frame for positive applicants to
reapply?
- Will you conduct Blood Alcohol Tests?
- Will you conduct random tests?
To generate a random list, you provide us with a complete
employee list in a computer-readable format and let us know the number
of employees to be tested and the frequency of the tests. We will automatically
generate a random list for you. There is never a charge for random list
generation. DOT random list generation is also available at no charge.
For clients with smaller numbers of DOT drivers, we
offer a consortium option, which reduces the number of random tests
you have to run. There is a minimal charge for the consortium.
- Companies That Implement Drug-Testing Programs
CTS conducts employee and management education/training
classes for companies that want to implement drug and/or alcohol
testing programs. Training can be geared toward either the front-line
employees or supervisory/management levels. It is not necessary
for us to conduct training classes in order to implement a program
for you, but we can conduct classes at your facility.
- Companies That Follow Federal DOT Guidelines
CTS conducts employee education/training classes
on drug and/or alcohol testing for companies that follow DOT guidelines.
The annual education required by DOT includes 1 hour of substance-abuse
education and 1 hour of alcohol-abuse education. We also conduct
annual DOT-required supervisory training classes.
Hair testing is an additional tool in detecting drug
use. Hair testing offers a number of advantages over urine testing;
however, it is not yet accepted by all regulatory authorities. Advantages
of hair tests are:
• More accurate in detecting drug use
• Less invasive to the donor
• More convenient to collect
