Workplace Drug Testing

Using sample protocols from the transportation and nuclear power industries, Workplace Drug Testing reviews federal regulations for workplace testing programs and demonstrates practical techniques for specimen collection and laboratory testing. It compares workplace testing outside the US, including protocols, attitude surveys, and legislation. Chapters cover analytical approaches for immunoassay and confirmatory testing; scientific information for biological matrices other than urine; procedures for using hair, oral fluid, and sweat; and physiologic considerations when interpreting alternative matrix test results. The book contains numerous tables and figures and expert data, and is supported by extensive references.
