Random drug testing is a standard operating procedure at many large companies, and it’s a great way to keep good, hardworking employees honest. People who use illegal recreational drugs are statistically more likely to steal, be chronically absent or tardy, or be involved in a workplace accident, and you have a fiduciary responsibility to your company and its stakeholders to keep drugs out of the workplace. And the good news is that it’s just as easy to implement a random testing program at a small business as it is at a large corporation!

First Choice is Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator, and we’re a phone call away whenever you’re ready to learn more about random drug testing for small businesses. Our services also include pre-employment background checks and reasonable suspicion training so that you and your supervisors can effectively ascertain when it’s time to test an employee who you suspect is under the influence at work.

It only takes a few minutes to set up a testing account, and all you have to do to get started is send us the names of your current employees. And if you operate a small business with only a few employees, we offer consortium pool membership. A consortium pool is a group of small companies that functions as a single entity for testing purposes, and it’s a popular option for boutique businesses and small, independent transportation carriers.

The selection process is completely blind and nondiscriminatory, and each employee will have an equal and independent chance of being selected for quarterly testing. We’ll send you email reminders to update your roster before each quarterly draw, and detailed instructions for your selected donors when it’s time for them to submit for testing. Our testing center is located at 6400 Scott Hamilton Drive in southwest Little Rock (exit 134 off Interstate 30), and we can have most donors in and out in 30 minutes or less. We offer industry-leading turnaround times for all testing results, and keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of all drug and alcohol tests.
