Drug testing in its simplest form is divided into two parts; screening and then confirmation. If you're buying your drug testing kits from D.Tec, it's imperative that you have a drug and alcohol policy in place, as well as a legally defensible confirmation system. D.Tec can assist you with both of these things.
Different sample types, such as urine, saliva and skin, all allow an employer to see different drug taking; and all over different time frames.
Urine and skin drug testing allows you to see the inactive metabolites of the drugs and can prove that a drug was consumed recently; in the last number of days thereby highlighting a drug 'user.' Urine and skin drug testing are however limited in effectiveness for the first couple of hours.
Conversely, saliva drug testing allows you to detect the active and impairing components of the drugs and sees those that were consumed in just the last few hours to half a day ago. So, saliva drug testing will indicate that someone is currently likely 'impaired' by a drug.
The DrugWipe Dual 5 Minutes Saliva & Skin Drug Screener is unique in that it is a screener that combines the short time span saliva results with the novel addition of adding a longer time window skin wipe result; thus, providing a world-beating time frame for detecting drug users. The result of which is a highly-effective drug testing kit with a similar time frame to that of urine but without the inconvenience, offence or cost of taking a urine sample. For more information on this innovative drug screening kit, please visit the product page.
Once a positive drug test is seen, D.Tec strongly advises and fully expects that the screening result is confirmed by another method. To this end, we offer a fully accredited urine confirmation collection and laboratory analysis service, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This will ensure a legally defensible result, thereby protecting your business against any potential unfair dismissal claims. This service is available to all customers who have previously signed up to use it.
