Pre-Employment Drug Testing

Why Pre-Employment Drug Testing Matters

A strong pre-hire screening program protects your business investment. It creates a safer work environment for everyone. Studies show employees who use illegal drugs are 3.6 times more likely to have workplace accidents. Companies save an average of $7,000 per employee with consistent job applicant testing. These savings come from reduced turnover, training costs, and productivity losses. Pre-hire screening sends a clear message about your company culture. Job applicants know you prioritize safety and professionalism. This attracts quality candidates while deterring poor fits.


Key benefits of employment drug test programs:
  • Cut workplace accidents by up to 51%
  • Lower insurance costs through reduced claims
  • Less employee turnover by screening problem candidates
  • Better company reputation as a safety-focused employer
  • Legal protection against negligent hiring lawsuits

DOT compliance is mandatory. Road Ready Mobile DOT maintains full FMCSA certification. We follow all federal protocols for your hiring drug test Pennsylvania needs.

DOT Requirements

  • Required for safety-sensitive jobs (CDL drivers, pilots, railroad workers)
  • 5-panel drug test only
  • FMCSA certification required
  • Urine testing only - no alternatives
  • Strict chain of custody with MRO oversight

Non-DOT Options

  • Company policy determines scope
  • Expanded panels available (10-panel and more)
  • Multiple specimen types (urine, hair, oral fluid)
  • Industry-specific customization

Testing Options Available

Mobile Testing Streamlines Hiring

Mobile new-hire drug screening removes common delays that slow down the hiring process. Instead of sending applicants to off-site clinics, testing is done on-site cutting time-to-hire by 3–5 days. Candidates appreciate the convenience, and HR teams save valuable administrative time. Mobile testing also supports group sessions, making it ideal for onboarding multiple hires at once, including seasonal staff and large project teams.


Typical workflow timeline
  • Conditional job offer pending drug test
  • Same-day scheduling at your location
  • On-site testing in 15-30 minutes
  • Results in 24-48 hours for negative tests
  • Final hiring decision with complete results

Result Timelines and Reporting

Our reporting process is secure and protects candidate privacy while still giving employers the information they need. All procedures follow HIPAA guidelines and industry best practices. If a test result is positive, a Medical Review Officer (MRO) contacts the candidate first to verify legitimate prescription use. This prevents misunderstandings or discrimination. We also provide clear timelines for results so you can plan hiring decisions confidently and keep candidates informed throughout the process.


Expected Timeframes
  • Negative urine: 24-48 hours
  • Negative hair: 3-5 business days
  • Positive results: 3-5 days after MRO review
  • Invalid specimens: 24-48 hours with retest

Handling Failed Drug Tests

Positive results need careful handling to protect your business legally. Proper procedures ensure equal treatment and good documentation. Some companies allow retesting after a set period. Others may consider different substances based on job safety requirements.


Key Considerations
  • Apply policies consistently across all candidates
  • Document decisions thoroughly
  • Treat everyone equally regardless of protected status
  • Follow state laws for notifications
  • Protect confidential medical information
