Services

Since 1991, Employee Screening Services has become the Midwest's leading full-service mobile drug and alcohol testing provider. ESS delivers the most logical and logistical services, coupled with the most convenient, comprehensive and client-focused compliance programs available. Your company receives significant time and money savings from our on-site programs, including collections, testing, education, training and much more.

From random selections to collection scheduling to record keeping and mandatory reports, we are able to administer individual and multi-participant consortiums. Also, ESS provides on-site collections and assists with nationwide collections as needed.

Policy Consultation

This includes DOT programs falling under FMCSA or PHMSA, as well as (DFWP) Drug Free Work Place Programs. We consult with each client to help ensure policy and practice are the same. We also offer referral services to attorneys specializing in both state and federal drug and alcohol regulations. We strongly recommend no policy be adopted or amended without proper legal counsel.

A 2002 Supreme Court ruling greatly expanded the categories of students who can participate in a mandatory random student drug testing program. We can assist your school with the development and implementation of a customized program. We work with more than 220 school districts, administering bus driver testing and compliance programs.

Training and education are necessary, and in most cases, required by regulation for DOT and Drug Free Workplace Programs. It is important for employees to understand the benefits and procedures of the program, as well as their rights and responsibilities. Employee training provides a real understanding of your company’s drug and alcohol policy, from the effects of drug and alcohol, and the consequences of violating the company policy, to subsequent treatment options.

Supervisor Training allows managers and supervisors to maintain safety and efficiency on the job. Our training class meets Federal DOT requirements, and is suited for any business desiring to train key personnel in reasonable suspicion testing. Our Supervisor Training Class deals with the recognition, confrontation and documentation involved if an employee demonstrates characteristics of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while at work.

REG. 382.603: “Each employer shall ensure that all persons designated to supervise drivers receive at least 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and receive at least an additional 60 minutes of training on controlled substance use. The training will be used by the supervisors to determine whether reasonable suspicion exists.”

• Reduce liability - negligent hiring or retention greatly increases exposure to large lawsuits

ESS provides several levels of background checks to our clients through a 3rd Party Administrator (Paragon Investigations), but generally recommends the following package:

• County, State and Federal criminal searches
• Sex offender searches
• Civil search for any judgments, liens or bankruptcies and ex-partes
• Missouri driving record search for any DUI's, DWI's or suspended/revoked licenses

All searches typically take 24-48 hours per applicant and go back 7 years.

Understanding the correct procedures necessary for post-accident testing can be very difficult. Under DOT regulations, post-accident testing may not be required in all situations, but a company can still elect to test following an accident under its Drug Free Workplace Program. Some states also offer workers's compensation incentives to companies that perform post-accident testing or maintain a Drug Free Workplace. Are your company policies or procedures equipped to correctly handle a post-accident situation? Is your drug and alcohol testing provider available 24/7 to respond to your after-hours testing needs?
