Common Testing Reasons
There are six main reasons to have to get a drug test. However, there are many other reasons up to the discretion of the customer.
Pre-Employment
Before you onboard a new hire, have them drug tested.
Reasonable Suspicion
Because only a trained supervisor can suspect an employee of using drugs, only a supervisor can request a reasonable suspicion test. So, contact a KT representative about getting supervisor certified.
Random Selection
KT Screening Services also pulls random drug tests for all companies enrolled in our consortium.
Return-to-Duty
After a violation, a driver must take a return-to-duty drug test to get started in the SAP program.
