Education and Training
Training includes participating in conferences for additional knowledge and educating on drug and alcohol issues. Training may also include collector training (urine, oral fluid, hair) as well as breath alcohol device training.
Professional collector training for urine, hair, oral fluid/saliva. We train on hair testing by having a supervisor teach our employees how to cut a sample of hair for the test followed by being present in the room with the collector until they feel comfortable enough to do it alone. Urine and oral fluid collectors have to go through training and successfully pass a test each year and mock collections every five years. Collectors who become trainers have more extensive testing.
