Alliance Employment Testing Program

Alliance Medical Monitoring Inc. will collaborate with an employer/designate to facilitate a comprehensive employment testing program for your organization, utilizing accepted protocols for Pre-Placement, Post Incident and Reasonable Cause testing.

Pre-Placement: Where there is a drug and alcohol policy requiring testing as a condition of employment. If an applicant tests positive for a specific substance, the result would be communicated to the applicant as part of a medical review of the result by our Certified Medical Review Officer. Final results are then conveyed to the employer designate.

Post Incident: As a result of a critical work related incident. If an employee tests positive for a specific substance, the result would be communicated to the employee as part of a medical review of the result by our Certified Medical Review Officer. Final results are then conveyed to the employer designate.

Reasonable Cause: In the event that an employee presents with behaviours suggestive of being under the influence of a mind-altering substance. If an employee tests positive for a specific substance, the result would be communicated to the employee as part of a medical review of the result by our Certified Medical Review Officer. Final results are then conveyed to the employer designate.

Consent

Information with respect to biological testing for employment is governed by a signed document consenting to the release of test results. Where results are reported to Occupational Health or related individuals, there is no restriction on reporting of information which is relevant to the testing. If results are required to be reported to non-medical designates, a custom consent document is required.

Biological Testing Protocols

Alliance facilitates multiple substance testing protocols including:

• Urinalysis including EtG, EtS and PEth testing
• Oral fluid testing
• Hair Analysis
• Breath testing including Soberlink

Samples are collected following Chain of Custody collection procedures.

Positive results are verified through GC/MS testing at a medical laboratory and undergo medical review with a certified Medical Review Officer prior to being reported. A test result is not considered positive until it has been confirmed through GC/MS testing.

Alliance facilitates standard testing panels which include illicit substances as well as commonly abused prescribed medications.

Alliance is able to facilitate testing for most of the less common substances of abuse, both over-the-counter and prescribed, as well as steroids and less common illicit substances.
