Presenter: William Current, President
WFC & Associates
Time: September 28, 2006 – 01:00 PM EST CLOSED
For years some people thought drug testing was illegal, but it’s actually never been illegal. Today, all 50 states allow drug testing, although some prohibit certain types of drug testing while others place specific regulations on how it is conducted. The challenge is to understand the law as it applies to your company. This presentation will focus on the most common issues relative to state drug-testing laws: random testing, the use of medical review officer services, and state laws that offer financial or legal incentives to conduct drug testing such as workers’ compensation premium discounts.

This session, presented by Mark A. de Bernardo, a leading legal expert in the field of workplace drug testing and substance-abuse prevention, will help you answer those questions and give your company a provocative look at whether its policy is right and/or can be improved, and the 14 options for when, who, and why to drug test.

Presenter: Barry Sample, Ph.D., Director of Science and Technology
Quest Diagnostics Employer Solutions
Time: October 13, 2005 – 01:00 PM EST CLOSED
Many companies test for only the SAMHSA-5 required drugs (amphetamines, cocaine metabolite, marijuana, opiates, and PCP) whether the testing is DOT mandated or not. However there is growing interest in other drugs as well.
Companies are increasing choosing to test for barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, and/or propoxyphene. There is also increasing concern with the abuse of drugs such as ecstasy and oxycodone. This web seminar will discuss the abuse of these drugs as well as symptoms, dangers and detection times so that your company can make an informed decision about which drugs of abuse should be included in your testing program.
