Post-Accident Testing

Post-Accident Oral Fluid Drug Testing

Perform observed, on-site saliva screening quickly after an incident, then route non-negative screens to certified lab confirmation with clean documentation.

Post-Incident Workflow

Screen Fast After an Incident, Confirm When Policy Requires.

Post-accident testing often needs speed, observation, and documentation. Oral-fluid collection can be performed on-site without restrooms or medical staff, so your team can take action quickly while preserving a clear path to lab-confirmed results.

FAQ

Post-Accident Testing Questions

Why use oral fluid for post-accident drug testing?

Oral-fluid testing detects recent, active drug use—making it ideal for post-accident situations where timing matters. Unlike urine testing, which can reflect drug use from days or even weeks earlier, saliva focuses on what is currently in a person’s system. Collection can be observed on-site without restrooms, allowing employers to respond immediately, document the incident properly, and preserve a clear path to lab confirmation.

What happens if the initial screen is non-negative?

Collect a second sample with the EZ Saliva Quickswab™ and send it to a certified lab for confirmatory testing with Medical Review Officer reporting, based on your policy.

Do we need medical staff or special facilities?

No. Oral-fluid collection is non-invasive and can be performed by workplace personnel with minimal training.

How do we keep incident documentation organized?

Use a secure portal (included with any EZ product) to keep results and documentation centralized for incident files, audits, and internal review.
