Certain companies require new hires to take a pre-employment Tuberculosis (TB) test and require their current employees to undergo testing at least annually. The procedure is quick and nearly painless, and we offer testing every weekday except Thursday, with no appointment necessary. But what is TB, and who needs to be tested?
No matter what type of business that you’re in, you have a responsibility to provide your employees with a safe and supportive working environment! It’s also incumbent upon employees to prove that they’re physically capable of performing all required duties and to ensure that workplace safety standards are consistently followed. First Choice is proud to be Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator, and we offer every conceivable lab test at our southwest Little Rock testing center. No company is ever too small for a random drug testing program, and we keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to ensure the accuracy of all testing results. We can also help you meet your workers’ compensation insurance requirements and offer fit-for-duty exams by appointment.
Opioid medication administered under medical supervision is one way for people who suffer from chronic pain or are recovering from a traumatic injury to get some badly-needed relief. Unfortunately, far too many individuals abuse opioids recreationally and risk the lives of others by getting behind the wheel and showing up for work under the influence. First Choice is Arkansas’ most trusted third-party test administrator, and we’re here to keep drugs and alcohol out of the workplace. But what if you’re a job seeker who’s using prescription opioids for a legitimate medical reason?
