Drugs and Alcohol testing programs help to protect the health and safety of all employees and the cost associated with having drugs and alcohol abusers on the payroll.

A US study showed that companies that tested workers and job applicants for drugs experienced a 51% reduction in injury rates within two years of implementing a drug testing program.

K2 Associates testing/collection officers follow an established Chain of Custody protocol.

The Chain of Custody is a well proven procedure and gives confirmative test results - the result is the final determination as to whether a sample is a positive for drugs/alcohol abuse.

K2 Associates Medical Review Officer will review all positive laboratory results and will communicate with the employee. For example, an employee may currently have taken prescribed or over the counter medication that may be responsible for producing a positive result.

Medical Review is necessary because the use of legitimate medications can result in legitimate laboratory positive results after the initial immunoassay test has been confirmed by Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry.

The medical review process protects the individual and the company from the risk of wrongful accusations, which can result in job loss and adverse publicity.

K2 Associates medical review officer provides independent and expert advice.
