What can employees expect when they go for a drug test?
When reporting to the test site, donors will be asked for a photo identification (ID). Acceptable forms of ID include a driver’s license, passport, military ID, official ID from the company the test is for, and a state ID. If an employee doesn’t have an ID, a representative from the company will be asked to identify the donor. After the donor provides a urine sample, the bottle should not leave his or her sight until it is sealed with special “evidence” tape. Donors will sign the label on the container, the chain-of-custody form, and record book stating that the sample collected was theirs. The specimen is then shipped to a DHHS-certified laboratory for testing. If the seal is broken, or if the donor does not sign the container, the laboratory will not test the sample.
