Reasons for Getting a Drug Test

Preparing For Pre-Employment or DOT Drug Testing

If you are applying for a job and the employer has indicated that they will use drug testing as part of their pre-employment screening process, or if you are applying for a job where DOT drug testing is mandatory, you may feel more comfortable making sure beforehand that you will be able to pass those drug tests. This is one of the most common reasons why individuals seek out drug testing in Knoxville, TN.

CBD Oil Users

A growing number of people are using CBD oils for a variety of reasons, including chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, and anxiety. However, what some people do not realize is that CBD oil can contain trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis that triggers a 'high.' In some brands of CBD Oil, the THC content may be enough to trigger a positive result for Marijuana on a routine drug test. If you are a CBD Oil user who is routinely drug tested by your employer, you may wish to arrange your own drug testing in Knoxville, TN, to make sure that your preferred brand is not going to result in a positive test result.

Challenging a Positive Drug Test

We often talk to individuals who have submitted to drug testing at work or elsewhere and have been told they have tested positive, but they believe this is not accurate. It is always possible to appeal these reports, but you will need supporting evidence. Getting your own drug testing in Knoxville, TN, and testing negative can be very useful when appealing a false report.

Proving That You Are Drug-Free After an Accident at Work

Did you know that in the state of Tennessee, an employer is allowed to contest workers comp and unemployment benefits if they have a positive drug test? You can protect yourself by taking your own drug test immediately following an accident at work to help prove that you were drug-free at the time of the accident.

Protect Against Insurance Denying Benefits

Even if you are not charged with a DUI following a car accident, it is possible that your insurance provider could contest your benefits by claiming that you had drugs in your system. You can protect yourself by arranging drug testing in Knoxville, TN, following any accident, so insurers will not be able to use this loophole.
