Who We Test

Urine drug testing serves a wide range of situations, and we accommodate them. Employers come to us for pre-employment screening, random testing, for-cause testing, post-accident testing, and return-to-duty testing. Urine drug testing is the only approved method for federally mandated testing, and DOT-regulated companies in trucking, transit, aviation, and pipeline industries trust us for compliant collections.

We also serve individuals who need court-ordered or probation testing, and organizations, including schools, that require routine screening. After-hours and post-accident service is available 24/7, so a workforce incident doesn’t leave you waiting until morning.

Urine Drug Test Panel Options at FastestLabs

We offer 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22-panel urine drug tests, giving employers and individuals the flexibility to match the panel to the situation. The 5-panel test is the standard used by the Department of Transportation and by many employers enrolled in a drug-free workplace program. Expanded panels detect a broader range of substances, including prescription opioids and synthetic drugs. Expanded opioid panels can also be added to standard tests to capture prescription opioids beyond the base panel.

Detectable Substances & Detection Window

Detectable substances across our panel range include cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, opiates, PCP, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, MDMA, methadone, buprenorphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, tramadol, K2 synthetic marijuana, bath salts, nicotine, and others. Urine drug tests can detect drugs ingested within the last 2-10 days.

How Results Are Delivered

In most cases, results are available on-site. When a preliminary result is positive, lab confirmation is required and typically takes 1-3 additional days.

How the Collection Process Works

Our collection process follows four steps. The individual provides a urine sample, which is collected in a tamper-proof setting under the oversight of our certified professional collectors. The sample is then tested and analyzed, and results are delivered to the test subject or the requesting party.

Chain of custody is maintained throughout every stage, creating a documented record of sample handling from collection through analysis. Urinalysis is one of the most legally defensible testing methods available, which is why courts, employers, and federal agencies rely on it. Our collectors are also trained to detect adulterants, substances sometimes used to mask drug metabolites. A positive result for adulterants carries the same consequence as a positive drug result.

Tennessee Drug-Free Workplace Program & Employer Compliance

Tennessee doesn’t require most employers to test, but the state’s voluntary Drug-Free Workplace Program gives employers a financial reason to do so. Employers who meet the program’s requirements may qualify for a reduction in workers’ compensation insurance premiums, and that benefit makes enrollment worth evaluating for many businesses.

Legal Protections Under the Program

Participation also comes with legal protections. A positive post-accident drug test can create a rebuttable presumption that drugs or alcohol were the proximate cause of the injury in a workers’ compensation claim, meaning an injured employee who tests positive may lose eligibility for benefits. A positive test or refusal to test may also make an employee ineligible for unemployment compensation.

Participation requires following DOT-like procedures, using a SAMHSA- or CAP-certified laboratory, designating a Medical Review Officer to review confirmed results, and observing limits on point-of-collection testing. These aren’t minor administrative steps, and working with a certified collection facility can simplify compliance.

DOT-Regulated Employers in the Upper Cumberland Region

For companies in trucking, transit, aviation, and pipeline industries, federal law removes the voluntary element entirely. DOT-regulated employers must use urine drug testing for pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and return-to-duty testing, and collections must be performed by certified professional collectors following strict chain-of-custody protocols.

On the marijuana question: Tennessee authorizes limited CBD use for specific medical conditions, but recreational and medical marijuana remain illegal in the workplace under Tennessee law. A positive marijuana test can be lawful grounds for termination or rescinding a job offer in Tennessee, regardless of where or how the employee used it.
