Drug testing got its start in the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s when the U.S. military began screening service members. By the late-1980s, the U.S. government was drug testing federal employees in “testing designated positions” – i.e. those with access to sensitive information or where drug use may pose a serious risk to national security, the public safety, and the effective enforcement of the law. The US Department of Transportation (DOT), responsible for helping to ensure safety in air travel, commercial motor vehicles, railroad transportation, mass transit, hazardous materials and maritime business began requiring drug testing of federally-regulated, safety-sensitive employees working in these areas. Drug testing at the federal level paved the way for private sector employers to begin workplace drug testing programs to screen applicants and employees.
\r\nIn the United States, Quest Diagnostics operates federally-certified drug testing laboratories and leverages thousands of specimen collection sites to perform more than ten million urine, oral fluid and hair workplace drug tests each year.
\r\n
Our laboratory footprint overseas is significant, but more frequently associated with clinical testing. That said, drug testing is becoming more prevalent by industries whose operations span the globe, such as energy, manufacturing and transportation. Our robust drug testing collection network and internal account management structures are built to provide solutions for drug testing both within and outside of the United States.

Reasons for drug testing
\r\nSubstance abuse can compromise the integrity and stability of the workplace. Pre-employment drug testing can help enable employers to make informed decisions about prospective employees, thereby helping to prevent the hiring of individuals who use drugs.
\r\n- \r\n
- Improve employee morale and productivity \r\n
- Decrease absenteeism, accidents, downtime, turnover, and theft \r\n
- Decreased the use of medical benefits \r\n
- Lead to better health and safety among employees and family members \r\n
Types of international drug testing collections
\r\nOur facilities in the United States, Mexico and our laboratory provider in Australia provide reliable test collections and results with fast turnaround times. We provide a variety of specimen type options including:
\r\n- \r\n
- Urine testing – the most commonly used drug test specimen type in the United States \r\n
- Oral fluid testing – easy-to-use collection system can be used in the presence of a monitor, thus reducing the likelihood of adulteration \r\n
- Hair testing – a specimen type able to detect a pattern of repetitive drug use for up to 90 days \r\n

藥物檢測在20世紀70年代後期和20世紀80年代初開始在美國開始，當時美國軍隊開始篩選服務成員。By the late-1980s, the U.S. government was drug testing federal employees in “testing designated positions” – i.e. those with access to sensitive information or where drug use may pose a serious risk to national security, the public safety, and the effective enforcement of the law.

Drug testing at the federal level paved the way for private sector employers to begin workplace drug testing programs to screen applicants and employees.
在美國，Quest Diagnostics經營聯邦認證的藥物檢測實驗室，並利用數千個標本收集地點，每年耗盡超過一千萬尿液，口服流體和頭發工作場所藥物測試。
我們的實驗室足跡海外是顯著的，但更頻繁地與臨床測試相關。也就是說，藥物檢測由運營跨越地球的行業變得越來越普遍，例如能源，製造和運輸。我們的強大藥物測試收集網絡和內部賬戶管理結構是為在美國內外提供藥物檢測的解決方案。
藥物檢測的原因
物質濫用可以損害工作場所的完整性和穩定性。就業前藥物測試可以幫助雇主讓潛在員工做出明智的決定，從而有助於防止雇用使用藥物的個人。
- 提高員工士氣和生產力
- 減少缺勤，事故，停機，營業額和盜竊
- 減少了醫療福利的使用
- 導致員工和家人之間的更好的健康和安全
國際藥物檢測收藏類型
我們在美國的設施，墨西哥和我們的實驗室提供商在澳大利亞提供可靠的測試收集和結果，快速轉變時間。我們提供各種樣本類型選項，包括：
藥物測試可以是一個複雜的話題。
我們的國際藥物檢測團隊可以幫助您導航普遍挑戰，包括商務禮儀，貨幣兌換，進出口海關和物流的文化差異。
