Post Accident Drug Test

Is estimated that 31.9 percent of fatal accidents are result of illicit drug use; post-accident drug testing can help determine whether drugs and/or alcohol were a factor in the accident. 

Generally, most private employers have a fair amount of flexibility in implementing drug testing as they see fit their organization – unless they are subject to certain Federal regulations, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) drug testing rules for employees.

It is important for private employers to establish objective criteria that will trigger a post-accident test. Some examples of criteria include fatalities, injuries that required medical assistance, police citations, or damages to a vehicle or property above a specified monetary amount.

In 2013, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reported that 24.6 million, or 9.4 percent of the American population aged 12 or older, were current users of illicit drugs

It’s recommended for employers not to allow employees involved in any accident to return to work, or to send them home following a post-accident drug/alcohol test.

All federal agencies conducting post-accident drug testing must follow standard procedures established by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

Urine Drug testing is the only method federal agencies allow for drug testing, but private employers have a broad range of drug screening options, which we also provide.
