Discuss the test method, screening purpose and other services your program needs.
Discuss suitability before choosing hair
The operational Diagnostics site lists hair testing alongside urine and oral-fluid options. A method should be chosen for the actual screening purpose, collection setting and program requirements, rather than because one format appears more extensive.
Ask about collection arrangements, laboratory analysis, result review and the limits of the method for your use case. A specialist can explain how hair testing fits alongside the rest of the employer’s testing program.
What to confirm
- Why your organization is considering hair testing
