First Choice Drug Testing

Drug Policy for workplace

Safety is no accident, and there’s no such thing as too much training or too many standards and procedures in the workplace. But no matter how carefully you train your employees, accidents happen! Workers’ compensation insurance provides cash benefits and/or medical care for workers who are injured or become ill as a direct result of their job, and it protects businesses from out-of-pocket losses resulting from workplace accidents. First Choice is a full-service drug and alcohol testing lab conveniently located in southwest Little Rock, and we also offer fit-for-duty testing by appointment!

Real vs. Synthetic

Cheating has changed over the years; some time ago cheaters preferred to get clean human urine and keep it fresh and warm until they could attempt to pass it off as their own. We don’t see nearly as much of that today; more commonly cheaters “go to” today is synthetic urine.

You can purchase a wide variety of synthetic urine, all manufacturers claiming theirs is guaranteed! I must admit that some synthetics are quite good at fooling the labs, we know this because we have sent in many specimens to the lab knowing it was synthetic and the labs reported it as negative.

Good workers are always hard to find, and you don’t have any time to waste when you find the right people! But in certain occupations, you must ensure that your new hires are physically capable of doing the work; You must also ensure your employees are medically fit to return to duty in the event of a workplace accident, and you must document the injuries you “inherit” with each new hire. First Choice is Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator, and we have an experienced Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to interpret and verify all test results. We offer confidential drug and alcohol testing services and physicals by appointment.
