DISA Helps Clients Transform Paper Chain of Custody Process into An Electronic Solution
January 05, 2018
DISA Global Solutions, an industry leader in the background, drug & alcohol screening business has changed the Chain of Custody (CoC) process in order to create a more effective and efficient way of screening.
The following information reflects a combination of data collected from DISA Global Solutions’ 2017 Owners Survey, which was sent to several upstream and downstream owners.
In a recent survey among both upstream and downstream employers, DISA has concluded a number of concerns and thoughts towards synthetics, opioids, and marijuana testing. These results help us guide our clients to receiving better services that are more custom towards their preferences, and the growing trends and changes within the drug and alcohol testing industry.
Employers value drug screening services like those offered by DISA because the results enable them to make informed staffing decisions that help keep their workplaces and job sites safe. The advancement of on-site mobile testing has taken that benefit and made it even easier to realize.
The opioid epidemic is a growing issue within our nation, and when it comes to the workplace, substance abuse factors into many other issues that could be costing the employer. DISA works with clients to ensure safety in the workplace in order to prevent such losses, or substantial impacts to your business.
Hiring new employees is a challenging, time-consuming process, and it’s further complicated by the possibility that candidates may be impaired by drug use. To help mitigate the risk of hiring drug users and to increase workplace safety and productivity, many employers adopt drug screening programs. Hair and urinalysis drug testing are two of the most common forms of screening. Knowing which method to choose can be confusing for companies who want to ensure they’re making the best decision for their organization.
People grappling with pain often seek sanctuary within opioid pill bottles. Opioids are synthetic pain-management drugs, the most common of which are oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl. Much like their natural opiate counterparts—morphine, opium, codeine and heroin, all of which are derived from poppy seeds—they bind to the opioid receptors in the brain and keep messages of pain from being delivered to the body, removing the sensation of pain for the user and replacing it with a sensation of comfort and bliss.
