Pre-employment and random drug tests in companies vary per state. Every employer who feels the need to conduct these tests must be aware of the state and federal regulations and the legal concerns involving drug testing methods and procedures. One important aspect of the procedure is handling the result of the drug test. Drug test results, as well as other information related to a previous history of alcohol and drug use, are considered personal health information. That is why employers need to be informed of the restrictions on how these information should be shared and to whom employee profiles are shared.
Employees undergoing drug test generally needs to sign a release, most often during the period of the drug test in order for their employers to receive the results. Employers can get detailed information about issues related to the release of health information from the DHHS. The agency dispenses the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA, which determines under what circumstances and to whom employee health information may be released. For more information about this issue, employers can also visit the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA web page.
Employers can opt for a more affordable yet accurate drug testing procedure by utilizing drug test kits. Testcountry offers a variety of drug testing kits that give fast and reliable results.
