Gerico provides drug testing in Edmonton for worksites and workers across Canada, whether your operation is based here or just passing through. We work with employers across a range of safety sensitive industries including oil and gas, pipeline, construction, transportation, manufacturing, and more.
We offer both urine and oral fluid drug testing, so you can choose the method that fits your workplace policy or site requirements. Instant testing panels range from a single THC screen up to a full 13 panel for urine, and a 1 panel or 10 panel for oral fluid, depending on what your employer or client requires. Lab-based panels are customizable to your requirements.
Negative results are available immediately through point of collection testing (POCT). If a result comes back non-negative, or if your program requires lab-based testing from the start, confirmation results are typically ready in 2 to 5 business days. This two-step process protects both the employer and the employee, since any non-negative screen is confirmed by an accredited lab before a result is finalized.
We follow formal DOT chain of custody procedures for all DOT-regulated testing, and Canadian Model and SAMHSA guidelines for all non-DOT testing, which means results hold up whether they’re headed to HR or need to meet federal requirements. Whether you need DOT or non-DOT drug testing, we’ll match the process to what your workplace requires.
