Sometimes it is about establishing a link between performance and substance abuse. At other times, it is a context for a complaint by a co-worker. In some cases, it is nothing more than a simple test of integrity – your best way of knowing if an employee or candidate is prone to telling the truth. Whatever the circumstances, it is our job to give you concrete evidence, so you will have a sound basis for any decision that has to be taken.
We work with a network of Phlebotomists – trained sample collectors – who can take a hair, saliva, or blood sample anywhere in the UK. They can do the job at your premises, or if needs be, even in prison. They will always treat your client with the utmost respect.
By working with our Phlebotomists, you can be sure that samples are taken, transported and tested according to strict protocols. They will document the full chain of custody so there is zero risk of tampering. So when the case comes to court, compliance simply will not be an issue.
Accredited to UKAS ISO 17025 and can provide a 3 day turn around on hair testing.
