Drug Testing For Businesses
Drug Testing For Businesses
FOR BUSINESSES
Currently the CLCMI is working to increase the number of businesses in Cheyenne that drug test their employees. Currently we are recognizing those businesses that currently have testing policies in place by providing recognition advertising and a storefront window decal with the slogan “We Drug Test.” Businesses that show support in the war against drugs through employee drug testing efforts increase their credibility to the public for the services they provide and the products they sell. Parents of youth looking for their first job are confident their teen will not be exposed to illegal drugs at the workplace.
There are various methods of drug testing. The most common include hair, urine and saliva analysis. The most common method is urine drug testing. When a drug test is performed, it will test to identify cocaine, methamphetamine, THC (marijuana), benzodiazepines, and opiates. This is also called a 5-panel test. Below is a list of drug testing businesses in the Cheyenne Area and the services they provide.
