Workplace Drug & Alcohol Testing
Physician-supervised drug and alcohol testing for safety-sensitive employers across Greater Sudbury and Northern Ontario.
A clearer path to a safer worksite
A drug test looks for signs of illegal drugs or certain prescription -the-counter (OTC) medicines that can be misused. In safety-sensitive environments, impairment is a workplace risk, not just a personal one. A consistent, well-documented testing program can support due diligence under your health and safety obligations, help reduce the risk of incidents, and give supervisors a clear process to follow when a concern arises.
Our role is to deliver the clinical side correctly: proper collection, chain of custody, and physician oversight, so your program holds up when it matters.
Testing Methods
Choose the right method for your program and worksite.
Urine Drug Testing
A widely used screening method for a standard panel of substances, with confirmatory testing available through an accredited laboratory.
Oral Fluid / Saliva Testing
An observed, lower-invasiveness collection useful for on-site and post-incident scenarios where recent use is the concern.
Breath Alcohol Testing
Conducted with calibrated equipment by trained personnel to support alcohol screening in safety-sensitive roles.
Random Testing Programs
We can help structure and administer randomized selection so your program stays consistent, unbiased, and on schedule.
