Workplace drug testing

As substance use disorder continues to be a major public health issue, drug testing has become a standard practice for purposes ranging from pre-employment screening to court-ordered monitoring. Labcorp patient service centers with this designation can collect either urine or oral-fluid samples to meet most workplace testing programs.

How employer-ordered testing works

How to prepare

There is no standard preparation for a drug test other than having a form of identification with you. It is recommended that you inform your testing professional of any over-the-counter medications or supplements you may be taking, as they may affect your test results. Avoiding foods with poppy seeds is also recommended, as they can be detected as a false positive for opiates in a drug test.¹

Where to go

Some of the most common sample types used for drug testing include urine, blood, hair or saliva. Labcorp offers several different drug tests, but not all locations offer these services. If you need an employee drug test, make sure to find a location that offers employment drug testing. Walk-ins are welcome, but you can also make an appointment.

What to bring

Bring the following information with you when visiting a collection site for an employment drug test:

  • Labcorp chain of custody form, Web COC donor registration form/number, or the laboratory testing request form from a health care professional
  • Photo ID (e.g., driver's license, employee identification badge)

Bringing a minor with you

When providing a sample, you must follow rules and protocols for drug testing, including not being accompanied by a child or infant into a bathroom while giving a urine sample.

  • Only children who are sufficiently mature and are old enough to be left alone in our waiting area while the patient is in the bathroom providing a urine sample.  If your child is too young to be left alone in the waiting area, you may not ask staff or other patients to watch your child while you are in the bathroom providing a urine sample.
  • If you are accompanied by a child who is too young to be left alone in a patient waiting area, you will not be permitted to perform the drug test and will be asked to return at a time when your child is not accompanying you. 

Urine collection special circumstances

A Donor with external urine bag

If a donor has an external urine bag, please contact Labcorp Occupational Testing Services (OTS) at 800-833-3934. Our staff will coordinate your urine collection at a facility equipped to provide assistance. Your health and wellbeing is our top priority.

A donor on kidney dialysis

If a urine drug screen donor is on kidney dialysis and unable to provide a urine specimen of 45 milliliters, the donor should notify their human resources department or other entity requesting the drug test. The Medical Review Officer of the employer will determine next steps for a donor medically incapable of providing an adequate urine specimen.
