This documentation provides a standardized record of a urinalysis screening for ten specific substances, including marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and PCP. It typically lists each substance individually, alongside the test result (positive, negative, or inconclusive) and may include cutoff levels for each analyte. A documented chain of custody often accompanies such forms to ensure the integrity and validity of the results. This documentation serves as an official report for employers, legal proceedings, or other relevant parties.
Comprehensive substance testing plays a critical role in maintaining workplace safety, ensuring compliance with regulations, and supporting public health initiatives. Standardized documentation enables clear communication of results among stakeholders, facilitates informed decision-making, and offers legal defensibility. The development of multi-panel testing reflects an evolving understanding of substance abuse and the need for broader screening methods.
