National drug screening offers accurate, confidential and secure drug testing to personal, private and public sectors, including individuals. When results are needed immediately for legal or personal reasons, national drug screening offers convenient locations and peace of mind. We use mro services which implement a certified medical review officer that provides fair, and accurate drug testing on all the samples collected.
The mro team consists of four qualified medical review officers and 12 full time assistants. Our software integrates with some of the most popular labs in the country such as crl, quest, alere, labcorp and medtox. In order to comply with dot, state and federal laws and regulations, all specimens should be collected and tested by a samhsa certified laboratory and results reviewed and verified by a medical review officer (mro).
State -of- the art software is used to perform simple to complex tests on hair, urine and saliva. Samples that are diluted intentionally or tampered with are rejected, or listed as invalid or incomplete for testing. These findings are reported through our monitoring services. Most companies implement a drug free workplace policy that allows them to perform random drug tests on employees. This type of program many times allows companies to receive a discount on their workers compensation insurance.
Safety in the workplace is a priority and a necessity. National drug screening has drug testing centers available through the state of kentucky. We perform a urinalysis, oral and hair testing to ensure complete accuracy. Some drugs leave a residue in the body that is often difficult to detect. It is a known fact that some drugs stay in the body for up to 90 days. However, with the right testing software and equipment the drug can be detected.
We have immediate drug testing available for work or school. We provide etg alcohol testing, which is a requirement of most companies, following an accident or injury. The etg alcohol test reveals the use of alcohol within the past three to five days. The etg alcohol test is the type of test, the court orders, and insurance companies and employers need, to help them rule out the possibility of drug or alcohol use, for liability purposes. We offer consultation services for companies that do not have a drug free workplace program, but want to initiate one.

Companies that establish a drug free workplace program are entitled to receive a discount on their workers compensation insurance. Kentucky has a voluntary law that offers a workers’ compensation premium discount to qualifying companies (krs §304.13-167 offers a 5% credit on workers’ compensation premiums as long as employers establish a program according to 803 kar 25:280 and the credit is not actuarially unsound). Those that do not wish to receive the workers’ compensation premium discount are not obligated to comply with this regulation.
Safety in the workplace is a universal concern. Employees who are suspected of having a drug or alcohol problem are referred to a drug counseling program, and carefully monitored. The success of any company depends on the education and training they provide to their employees. National drug screening services can help companies set up a drug free workplace program at your company.
Kentucky revised statutes §342.610(3) states that liability for compensation does not apply when injury, occupational disease, or death are directly caused by “voluntary intoxication.” (see definition of “intoxication” below.). A company with a proper drug free workplace may be able to deny a workers compensation claim when the employee tests positive on the post –accident drug test.
Kentucky revised statutes §341.370(6) states that reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs or consuming alcohol or drugs on the employer’s premises during work hours constitutes misconduct, for which an individual may be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits.
At national drug screening we perform the state required probation drug test, and dot consortium drug testing. We offer a five panel, and 10 panel testing model that can easily detect amphetamines, ecstasy, opiates, barbiturates, propoxyphene, buprenorphine, methamphetamine, marijuana, pcp and cocaine. Our software is foolproof, so there is no chance of getting a false positive on any test we conduct. Our drug testing centers can verify or deny a claim of alcohol or drug abuse.
Kentucky is not currently as of october 2014 one of the states with medical marijuana or recreational marijuana laws.
Dot compliance is vital for companies with a government, city, state or federal contract. Employees operating buses, vans, cars and commercial vehicles are required by some agencies to participate in random drug and alcohol testing. Drug and alcohol related accidents can result in companies losing their contracts. Depending on the circumstances, some companies are sued in court, and are forced to close their doors forever.
National drug screening services can prevent these unfortunate events from occurring. Employers can schedule a drug or alcohol test for their employees at any time. Results are emailed, faxed or sent via mail to courts, probation officers, and employees. Appointments are made by picking up the telephone and dialing our toll free number, 1-866-843-4545 or fill out a contact form on our web site.
