We had a customer request that we “monitor” a drug test for one of their employees. A monitored collection is different than a directly observed collection.
Monitored simply means the door remains open and the donor turns his back to the collector. Directly observed is defined as the collector must directly observe the urine leaving the donors body, directly observed collections are quite invasive.
First Choice Drug Testing offers after hours drug and alcohol testing 24/7, 365 days a year. We have a dedicated staff of part-time collectors that rotate being “on call” so that our clients receive services for those emergency after hours testing needs, which is most often post-accident or reasonable suspicion testing. We average about 5 after hour call outs a week. Very few competitors offer these services and those that do are not always reliable, hence we are known as the “go to” vendor for afterhours services.
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! We have an experienced Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to interpret and verify all test results, and offer industry-leading turnaround times on all drug and alcohol testing services. But it doesn’t stop there, and we also offer background checks and physicals!
It’s hard to find good help these days, and most business owners and hiring managers understand that resumes often present a highly idealized version of an applicant’s employment history. Many job seekers believe they need to “beat the reviewer,” and the information they include on their resume often isn’t nearly as helpful to know as the information they don’t. But they can’t hide their criminal past from people who know where to look, and our team at First Choice is proud to offer thorough background checks!
