Understanding Workplace Drug & Alcohol Test Reports

Published
Our newest LinkedIn newsletter makes workplace drug and alcohol testing – and laboratory reports – easier to understand.

A few days ago, one of your employees returned a non-negative result on a workplace drug test. Now, the confirmation report from the independent laboratory has arrived—and suddenly, terms like “confirmed positive,” “cut-off concentration,” and “therapeutic level” are staring back at you.

What do they really mean? And, most importantly, what should you do next?

Our newest LinkedIn newsletter makes workplace drug and alcohol testing – and laboratory reports – easier to understand by covering:

  • A simple guide to common terms used in testing and lab reports.
  • Why a confirmed positive result doesn’t automatically indicate illegal drug use.
  • Steps to take if a drug or alcohol test comes back positive.
  • How Integrity Sampling or a Medical Review Officer can support you in interpreting results and deciding on next actions.
