On-Site Drug Testing for Construction Job Sites

Construction crews often work in remote locations, far from the nearest clinic. Sending a worker off site for a test can mean hours of lost productivity. On-site testing offers a practical solution.

Benefits of on-site testing

  • Less downtime: Workers are tested without leaving the job site.
  • Faster hiring: New workers can be screened and start sooner.
  • Easier random testing: Selected workers can be tested promptly.
  • Quick response: Supports timely reasonable suspicion and post-incident testing.
  • Convenience for large crews: Test many workers at once.

Rapid test kits

Rapid on-site drug test kits provide preliminary results in minutes. They are commonly used for:

  • Pre-employment screening of non-DOT workers
  • Pre-access screening for projects that require it
  • Quick screening when workers are hired on short notice

Any non-negative rapid result should be sent to a laboratory for confirmation before you take action. Rapid kits cannot be used for DOT-regulated tests.

Lab-based testing

For confirmed, defensible results, specimens are collected under chain-of-custody procedures and sent to a lab. Collections can be done at a clinic near the job site, and for larger needs, on-site collection options may be available.

Setting up on-site testing

  1. Designate trained staff to conduct rapid tests.
  2. Keep test kits and forms stocked and stored properly.
  3. Provide a private area for specimen collection.
  4. Follow consistent procedures for every test.
  5. Maintain confidentiality of results.
  6. Send non-negative screens for lab confirmation.
