On-Site Drug & Alcohol Testing for Employers
Keep your team moving while protecting safety and compliance. QuickCare brings certified collections and workplace-ready coordination to your facility for pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing—without sending employees off-site.
Why On-Site Testing?
Off-site collections often mean lost work time, scheduling friction, and delays when you need fast answers. On-site testing keeps your process controlled, predictable, and discreet—especially for safety-sensitive roles and time-critical incidents.
Less Downtime
Test employees on your schedule and reduce time away from the job. Ideal for shift work, distributed teams, and facilities where staffing coverage matters.

When Employers Use On-Site Testing
Build a consistent, policy-aligned program across hiring, operations, and incident response. We help you execute testing events cleanly—without turning your day upside down.
Pre-Employment
Speed up onboarding with scheduled collections that align to your start dates and shift coverage.
Random Testing
Reduce advance notice and keep the process consistent with a repeatable, documented workflow.
Post-Accident
Time matters. On-site collections help you act quickly while preserving documentation and discretion.
Reasonable Suspicion
Support supervisors with a clear process for collections, next steps, and proper recordkeeping.
Return-to-Duty & Follow-Up
For programs that require it, we help coordinate repeat events on a schedule that fits operations.
Worksite & Vendor Requirements
Meet site-access or customer requirements without routing employees through off-site clinics.
How On-Site Testing Works
A workplace-ready process designed for speed, privacy, and documentation. For ongoing programs, we can standardize the workflow across locations and shifts.
1
Schedule & Policy Alignment
Confirm test type (rapid, lab, alcohol), panel configuration, and program rules (DOT or non-DOT) so the event matches your policy and role requirements.
2
On-Site Setup
We arrive with supplies and documentation. You provide a discreet room and (for urine collections) restroom access. We keep the footprint minimal.
3
Collection & Documentation
Certified collectors follow chain-of-custody procedures and donor verification. Specimens are sealed and tracked according to program requirements.
4
Results & Next Steps
Rapid screens provide a preliminary outcome; lab confirmations and MRO review (when applicable) follow established protocols before final reporting.
Our On-Site Testing Solutions
Choose the right testing method for your policy, risk profile, and operational needs. We support both rapid screening and laboratory-based confirmation workflows.
Mobile Point-of-Care (Rapid) Testing
For many non-regulated workplace programs, rapid testing helps employers make timely decisions while keeping employees on-site. Rapid results are typically considered screening results; confirmatory laboratory testing may be recommended for non-negative outcomes or policy requirements.
Rapid Screening Workflow
Quick, on-site collections designed to reduce downtime and support timely decision-making in safety-sensitive environments.
Certified Collection Professionals
Trained collectors who follow established collection procedures, documentation steps, and privacy best practices.
Panel & Method Options
Configure screening panels (e.g., standard or expanded) and choose the collection method that best fits your policy and workforce.
Documentation & Defensibility
Clear records that support internal policy compliance and help reduce risk if decisions are challenged.

On-Site vs. Off-Site Testing
On-site testing is designed to reduce downtime and improve operational control. Off-site testing often introduces travel time, scheduling delays, and less predictable workflows.
| Criteria | On-Site Testing (QuickCare) | Traditional Off-Site Testing |
|---|---|---|
| Employee Downtime | Typically under 30 minutes (varies by method and event size) | Often 2+ hours when travel, waits, and appointments are included |
| Scheduling Flexibility | ✓ High (shift-friendly, on your site) | ✗ Limited (clinic hours and availability) |
| Random Testing Practicality | ✓ Stronger control and less advance notice | ✗ More logistical friction and potential warning |
| Operational Disruption | Minimal (contained footprint) | Higher disruption due to travel and staffing gaps |
| Transportation Costs | ✓ Reduced/avoided | ✗ Often significant (mileage, rides, paid time) |
| Administrative Burden | Lower with a single on-site workflow | Higher due to appointments, directions, and clinic coordination |
| Post-Accident Readiness | ✓ Supports faster action within coverage | ✗ Delays are common when clinics are closed or busy |
| Privacy & Discretion | ✓ Discreet on-site room | ✗ Public clinic setting |
Key Benefits of On-Site Testing
A practical way to protect safety, reduce operational drag, and keep your program consistent across hiring and incidents.
Minimized Disruption
Keep employees on-site and reduce gaps in staffing coverage. Ideal for manufacturing, logistics, construction, hospitality, and other operations where leaving the site impacts output.
Faster Incident Response
For post-accident or reasonable suspicion events, timing and documentation matter. On-site collections help you act quickly and consistently.
Compliance-Ready Documentation
Chain-of-custody steps, donor verification, and secure handling procedures that help support policy enforcement and defensibility.
Lower Hidden Costs
Reduce indirect costs like travel time, wait time, supervisor coordination, and repeated rescheduling—especially across multiple shifts.
Consistent Program Execution
A repeatable workflow for onboarding, random pools, and follow-up schedules—helping you run a program that is consistent across managers and locations.
Method Options
Choose urine, oral fluid, breath alcohol, or hair collection depending on policy requirements, role risk, and operational constraints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about workplace drug and alcohol testing
On-site services can include:
- Urine drug testing (common for many workplace programs)
- Oral fluid (saliva) drug testing (collection method varies by policy/program)
- Breath alcohol testing
- Hair collection (collected on-site, sent to a laboratory)
Panel configurations can be selected based on your policy and role requirements. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you map test type and workflow to your use case.
Response time depends on location, coverage, and scheduling. Employers typically use:
- Scheduled events for pre-employment and planned random testing
- Urgent dispatch for post-accident or reasonable suspicion scenarios when speed matters
- 24/7 coordination (availability varies by market and staffing)
For ongoing programs, we can define service expectations and preferred workflows so urgent events are easier to execute.
On-site collections follow documented chain-of-custody steps similar to off-site collection facilities, including:
- Certified collectors and donor identity verification
- Tamper-evident materials and documented transfers
- Required signatures and specimen sealing/labeling
- Secure transport for laboratory specimens
We also prioritize discretion by using a private room/area at your site and limiting the visible footprint of the collection setup.
Most on-site events can run with minimal space:
- Private room: Office or room for check-in and documentation
- Restroom access: Required for urine collections
- Waiting area: Helpful for larger events but not required
If you have space constraints, we can stagger collections or discuss alternate setups while maintaining privacy and documentation expectations.
Rapid results are generally considered screening (preliminary). For non-negative screening outcomes, common next steps include:
- Sending the specimen for laboratory confirmation (policy- and program-dependent)
- MRO review of confirmed results when applicable
- Final reporting to the employer’s designated representative based on program rules
This approach improves accuracy and helps ensure decisions are based on verified processes rather than preliminary screening alone.
On-site collections can support DOT-regulated programs when performed under DOT rules and documentation requirements. Key points:
- DOT collections must follow DOT protocols and documentation requirements
- DOT specimens are sent to a certified lab for analysis (rapid results are not used as the DOT primary result)
- Positive results typically involve MRO review per program rules
We can help you coordinate DOT vs. non-DOT workflows so the correct process is used for each employee group.
