Employee Drug Test
At the forefront of workplace safety, employee drug testing helps employers mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and boost productivity. With a wide range of testing options, including regulated drug tes and non-regulated drug tests, Workplace Screening Intelligence ensures comprehensive drug screening for your workforce.
Our services include:
- Regulated Drug Tests (such as FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, and US Coast Guard testing programs) to comply with stringent federal requirements.
- Regulated Drug test must be competed on a Regulated Drug Test Chain of Custody Form or it may not count towards your compliance goal.
- Non Regulated Drug Tests, giving discretion to private employers to define testing policies that meet their organizational goals.
Regulated Drug Test vs. Non Regulated Drug Test
Regulated drug tests are mandated by federal agencies, such as the Department of Transportation (DOT). They strictly follow guidelines established by the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, maintain a chain of custody, and employ Medical Review Officers (MROs) to evaluate results.
On the other hand, non regulated drug tests are used by companies that are not required to comply with DOT regulations. These tests can be customized to include specific substances relevant to your company, such as a Fentanyl Drug Test or Buprenorphine Drug Test.
Understanding the difference between the two is key to developing a drug-testing policy tailored to your organization’s needs.
DOT Drug Test
A critical component of compliance for transportation employers, the DOT drug test is designed to increase safety on the roads, rails, and skies. This test follows strict guidelines for a 5-panel drug test, screening for:
- Marijuana (THC)
- Cocaine
- Amphetamines
- Opiates (including synthetic opioids)
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
Failing a DOT drug test can have serious implications, including removal from safety-sensitive positions and mandatory completion of the Return to Duty Test process. Workplace Screening Intelligence simplifies this process with a fully electronic tracking system that keeps you informed at every stage—whether you’re completing pre-employment queries, random testing, or follow-up testing.

What is a Non DOT Drug Test?
A question we often hear is, “What is a Non DOT Drug Test?” Simply put, non DOT drug tests are not regulated by federal guidelines, giving businesses more flexibility. They can include a variety of drug panels, such as:
- 5-panel drug tests (similar to DOT tests but customizable)
- 10-panel drug tests, which screen for additional substances like Benzodiazepines, Methadone, and Quaaludes.
Wondering, what are Quaaludes? They are powerful sedatives that were popular in the 1970s but are now controlled due to their high potential for abuse. Non-DOT testing allows for bespoke solutions like adding a Ketamine Drug Test, Synthetic Marijuana Drug Test (K-2 Spice), or a Hair Follicle Drug Test to detect long-term drug use.
