Drug testing protocols

Drug testing protocols involve collecting a sample—such as urine, blood, hair, or saliva—and analyzing it for substances like alcohol or illegal drugs. The process includes verifying the person's identity, informing them of the test, and ensuring proper sample collection to prevent tampering. Samples are then processed in a lab using specific techniques to detect the presence of substances. Results are reviewed by trained professionals and, if positive, may lead to follow-up testing or actions per organizational policies. These protocols aim to ensure accuracy, fairness, and privacy throughout the testing process.
