Our Employer Services

We offer nine core employer services covering every testing occasion and program need. Here’s what each one covers:

Pre-Employment Screening: Drug and alcohol testing and background checks conducted before a candidate joins your team.
Random Testing: Scientific random-generation software selects employees for unbiased, DOT-compliant random drug and alcohol tests, removing any appearance of targeting.
On-Site Testing: We come to your location so employees don’t need to leave work. On-Site Testing is ideal for large groups or time-sensitive situations.
For-Cause Testing: When reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol use arises, For-Cause Testing lets you respond quickly and within proper protocol.
Employee Monitoring: Customizable ongoing testing programs that support long-term retention and compliance goals.
Background Checks: Background Checks conducted in partnership with Crimcheck, which holds PBSA accreditation, an HRO Today Customer Satisfaction Award, and NMSDC certification as a minority-owned business.
Human Resources: We help HR professionals create, implement, and manage both one-time and ongoing testing programs.
Random Program Management: Full management of your random testing program, including schedule design and result interpretation.
After Hours Testing: Emergency drug and alcohol testing available around the clock for post-accident and other urgent employer needs.

Program Design: Policy Creation to Ongoing Management

Many Mercer County businesses don’t have a formal drug and alcohol policy in place. A written policy matters: it defines testing occasions, establishes consequences, and supports defensible employment decisions when results are positive. Our Program Design services help you build that foundation.

We offer Policy Creation, Policy Implementation, and Program Management as a connected set of services. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an existing program, we can guide the process from initial drafting through active administration. These services are available alongside our in-lab and On-Site Testing options.

Federal DOT Services for Trenton-Area Employers

If your business operates in a safety-sensitive industry, federal law under 49 CFR Part 40 governs how drug and alcohol testing must be conducted. Six agencies carry these requirements: FMCSA, FTA, FAA, USCG, FRA, and PHMSA. Trenton’s role as a Mercer County hub for commercial transportation, transit, and government operations means a significant share of local employers carry DOT obligations.

Our certified collectors are trained in federal DOT testing protocols, and we provide the three-part Breath Alcohol Testing form required by the DOT. For breath alcohol testing, we use the Lifeloc Phoenix 6.0 Portable Breath Alcohol Testing Equipment, which is DOT/NHTSA-approved and included on the DOT conforming products list.

Our Federal DOT Services include:

Federal DOT Drug Testing
DOT Alcohol Testing
DOT Breath Alcohol
DOT Post Accident
Mobile DOT Testing
DOT Audit Preparation
DOT Protocol Training
DOT Policy Creation
DOT Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Program
DOT Clearinghouse

Understanding Workplace Drug Testing Programs

A complete employer drug testing program spans several testing occasions, each serving a different purpose. Pre-employment testing screens candidates before hire. Random testing uses computer-generated selection to maintain unpredictability and fairness, which is also a requirement for DOT-covered employers. Post-accident testing occurs after a workplace incident to determine whether substance use may have been a factor. Reasonable suspicion testing, return-to-duty testing, and follow-up testing round out the full picture for most programs.

Drug-free workplace programs can reduce workplace accidents and support compliance with federal and state regulations. New Jersey doesn’t broadly mandate drug testing for private employers outside of DOT-regulated industries, but many businesses implement voluntary programs for safety and liability reasons. DOT-regulated employers must follow 49 CFR Part 40 procedures regardless of whether they also run a separate non-DOT program.

Chain of Custody & Specimen Integrity

Chain-of-custody documentation tracks a specimen from the moment of collection through laboratory analysis and result reporting. Every step is documented to support the integrity of the sample and the reliability of the result.

Random Testing Consortiums

Smaller employers who need to meet DOT random testing requirements often join a random drug testing consortium, a pooled group of employees across multiple companies from which a percentage is randomly selected each testing period. This approach lets small businesses satisfy federal requirements without maintaining a large enough workforce to run a statistically valid standalone random program.
