What is Drug Testing?
Drug testing is one action an employer can take to see if employees or job applicants have used drugs.  Drug tests can identify alcohol and illegal drugs in a person's body.  Employers drug test their employees to protect their workers and their workplaces from the negative effects of alcohol and other drugs.

Some employers believe that a drug-free workplace program and drug testing are one and the same; however, drug testing is only one element of a program.  This is why IHSN focuses on not just drug testing, but systems to help you implement your entire drug-free workplace program.  We have solutions for testing, training, policy development, regulatory issues, and much more to help you manage your drug-free workplace program with ease.
