Asking the individual providing the specimen to remove loose clothing and get out purses/bags exterior the washroom
The staff fellow member remaining outside the washroom door during collection
Affixing a unique coded identifier to the collection container

Affixing a temperature indicator to the side of a collection container to ensure the specimen is freshly voided
Sealing the sample with tamper-evidence tape and sealing it in a tamper-evidence bag, all in the sight of the individual who provided the specimen so they are confident no i tampered with their sample afterward it was nerveless
Completing a chain-of-custody course

Types of Drug Testing

Pre-employment testing
Reasonable cause testing
Random testing
Post-blow testing
Periodic testing
Rehabilitation testing (return to piece of work)

Virtually all of the chain of custody testing in BC is performed out of our not SAMSHA lab.

All positive results are reviewed past a certified scientist and confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). GC/MS is an extremely sensitive and accurate process that identifies each chemical compound by its unique molecular structure.

Non-DOT samples are collected using the concatenation of custody form and collection kit, however, samples are tested at our LifeLabs British Columbia non-SAMHSA accredited laboratory.
