How federal drug testing regulations affect Nevada employers

Under federal law, only certain Nevada employees are required to submit to drug screening. drug screening is required for those in high-risk professions, such as transportation and aviation. if you are seeking employment as a federal contractor — such as with the department of defense of NASA — you will also be required to undergo drug screening. when it comes to employers in the private sector, drug testing regulations are determined by Nevada state law.

State drug testing rules and regulations in Nevada

Nevada has few drug testing regulations in place at the state level.

• Instant drug testing or point of collection drug testing (poct) is prohibited in Nevada as all tests must take place at a laboratory.
• Urine, hair and oral fluid drug testing are allowed a medical review officer (mro) should review all drug test results.

For public employees such as law enforcement officials, drug screening is required. Drug screening for private employees is left up to the employer’s discretion. This means that employers can perform drug screening on applicants, after an accident or injury, at random or if there is reasonable suspicion. If a positive result is found, employers have full authorization to provide a treatment referral, discipline, or discharge the employee as necessary. Employees with positive drug test results could also stand to lose any unemployment or workers’ compensation benefits. case law upholds that alcohol or drug use against an employer’s drug-free workplace policy constitutes misconduct. under Nevada law, employees have certain rights when it comes to drug testing:

• Drug screening results must stay confidential unless written consent is provided.
• Employees with positive results may choose to have the same sample tested at a different laboratory.
• Drug screening must be performed by an independent lab that has received certification from the department of health and human services.
• Employees undergoing drug testing must be protected from unnecessary embarrassment.
