Types of Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Recommended

Hair Analysis (wide window) 0 - 90+ days

For use in pre-employment, rehabilitation, self-referral, workplace promotion and return to work testing scenarios. Drugs stay in the hair permanently and proportionate to use, this makes hair the perfect medium for the above testing protocols. Psychemedics is also approved by the FDA for the collection and analysis of both head and body hair.

Urinalysis (narrow window) 3- 5 days

For use in a for-cause incident, random testing and in support of some alcohol testing. Urine testing has a long legal track record and provides a wider window of testing than oral Fluid. It is however a labour intensive scenario that requires controlled circumstances for the collection of the sample.

CSI does not recommended urine for hair analysis applications

Oral Fluid Analysis (narrow window) 2 days

For use in a for-cause incident, intelligence-based incident, random testing and mass screening. CSI recommends two types of oral fluid test mediums. Point-of-care and Laboratory screened/confirmation packages. CSI's screening devises are the most robust available and are recommended for mass screening and random programmes.
