What is pre-employment drug and health screening?

It's an umbrella term used to describe the drug and health screening process conducted by organizations on prospective and current employees. Businesses employ drug and alcohol screenings to determine whether the candidate abuses illegal drugs and alcohol.

The tests also serve as occupational health screenings to establish the candidate's fitness for the role.

  • Fosters a safe working environment.
  • Reduces absenteeism, turnover rates, accidents, and injuries.
