What is On-Site Pre-Employment Drug Testing?
Testing for drugs is an important preventative measure to ensure a safe and healthy workplace and expedite the applicant hiring process. Employee drug use poses a risk of injury or accident to the individual, their colleagues, and the public – especially if they operate heavy equipment or machinery.
On-site drug testing means quicker, more accurate results and a reduced time-to-hire. Candidates don’t have to travel to a collection site (at which point drugs may have exited their system) and employers don’t need to wait days for results.

Benefits of On-Site Pre-Employment Drug Testing
By requiring a pre-employment drug test, employers are assured that a job candidate can safely perform the job for which they are being hired.
Additionally, on-site drug tests help employers make informed, objective decisions about hiring more quickly, conveniently, and cost-effectively because they can test many people at once in less time. Collection, lab tests, verification, and web-based reporting all happen on-site.
An on-site drug testing program also ensures that employers can maintain a safe and drug-free workplace and comply with government regulations (including DOT and DOL laws).
By filtering out drug use, drug testing can reduce risks associated with workplace incidents and potential damages and provide cost savings.

Get StartedFrequently Asked Questions
What types of drugs can be detected in on-site pre-employment drug testing?
A five-panel drug test is a common pre-employment drug screening exam for job candidates. The test is used to determine the presence of cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, opioids, and phencyclidine (PCP). Workplace drug testing may also check for alcohol.
How reliable are the results of on-site pre-employment drug testing compared to laboratory testing?
Acuity’s on-site pre-employment drug testing services use the same rigorous standards and procedures as lab-based testing. If drug metabolites are detected, further examination is undertaken to determine which drug is present and the quantity in the candidate’s system. Results are also reported and verified by experienced on-site MROs and MROAs.
How long does it take to receive the results of an on-site pre-employment drug test?
Urine drug test results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours for rapid, informed hiring decision-making. Moreover, on-site collection and analysis minimize delays caused by job candidates needing to travel to a collection site.
What legal considerations should we keep in mind when conducting on-site pre-employment drug testing?
Most states permit employers to test job applicants for drugs or alcohol as a condition of employment. However, employees must be notified that testing is part of the interview process. Drug tests must be administered by a state-certified lab.
Industries regulated by the DOL and DOT are required by law to test job candidates for drugs and alcohol.
How can we ensure the privacy and confidentiality of employees during on-site pre-employment drug testing?
Laws, including HIPAA and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), require that employers treat pre-employment and random drug tests – like any employee medical information – as confidential.
Acuity’s on-site pre-employment drug testing services handle all employee information, including personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and test results as a confidential file separate from a job candidate or employee’s general file. Drug test results are only shared on a need-to-know basis with the relevant department.
