An Ounce of Prevention Helps Companies Sidestep Tons of Costs & Accidents

The company, which is headquartered in Danville but provides services throughout the U.S., provides laboratory and/or instant on-site drug tests to business owners who want to implement a drug testing program.

AmeriTest Drug & Screening Services specializes in drug detection assessments, workplace drug testing and DNA and paternity testing. Additional services include: hair follicle drug testing; in-home drug testing and more than 30 different types of employee background checks, many tailored specifically for truck drivers, business owners, corporations, daycare centers and landlords.

The company provides clients with on-site testing, or when necessary, the proper paperwork and local laboratory locations to send their employees (over 4,000 laboratories nationwide) for follow up or additional testing. AmeriTest Drug & Screening Services' drug detection specialists (D-Techs) are also trained to use specially designed ("wipe and spray") technology that allows them to detect drug residue on all types of surfaces such as computer keyboards or light switches. This non-confrontational service is ideal for parents and business owners who wish to find out if drugs are being used on the premises without having to directly test the individual.

"Business owners are losing over $100 billion per year due to substance abuse in the workplace," said R. Damien Hart, owner of AmeriTest Drug & Screening Services. "By having a drug detection Assessment you will be able to determine if drugs are a major issue within your workplace. In today's society, it is far too risky to leave something as critical as a safe and drug-free work environment to chance."

AmeriTest's drug testing kits have been approved by the US Food & Drug Administration and are guaranteed to be accurate, safe, and meet the same standards established by the United States Department of Transportation for drugs of abuse testing. The kits test for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine and opiates. Other kits and tests include: nicotine; alcohol; steroids; amphetamines; phencyclidine (PCP); barbiturates; benzodiazepines and methadone. In addition to drug and substance testing, another segment of the industry that is growing rapidly is DNA and paternity testing. AmeriTest Drug & Screening Services offers more than a dozen different types of DNA testing including: at-home paternity; legal DNA paternity; prenatal; full-siblingship; half-siblingship; grandparentage; cousinship; avuncular (aunt/uncle); maternity; legal maternity, as well as ancestral tracing.
