Oral fluid drug testing is now on the menu boys

Who is the "you"?

The driver?

Nope.

"You {the employer}, not the employee, choose the collection methodology for the test reason (e.g., randoms will start with urine; follow-ups will use oral fluid)."

 

What's the cost difference between the two methods?

 

Yes when we were hauling fuel out to the coal mines run by BHP they'd often run a blanket drug and alcohol test to all workers entering the mine site, and there'd be a line a mile long due to everyone having to submit a urine test starting a shift most had already been to the bathroom prior to coming to work the result being not many had enough to fill the "sample cup" no test no entry, the saliva test which is either done by simply scaping the tongue or rolling around a sponge in your mouth for a few minutes is much better and stops all the fuss involved for a urine test, bottom line it all comes down to how much the company is prepared to pay for the drug testing.

 

They don't need much piss these days.

Just cover the bottom and it's enough for the test strip they use now.

 

That’s for glucose, not drugs.

You don’t want to be the company DER if you’re also a driver.
