Drug Screening 101: Cross-Reactivities, Confirmation, and What Employers Should Know: Why a non-negative screen does not automatically mean a positive result
Workplace drug testing can raise concerns—particularly around false positives linked to medications, herbal supplements, or sports and bodybuilding products. This webinar is designed to demystify the science and process behind drug screening and laboratory confirmation.
In this session, CK will explain along with the President of AMROA- Dr Charles Appleton to understand the:
- The difference between initial drug screening and confirmatory laboratory testing
- Why cross-reactivity can occur during screening tests
- How common items such as prescription and over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and performance products may trigger a non-negative screen
- Why an unconfirmed screening result does not imply a positive laboratory result
- How confirmation testing eliminates cross-reactivity and identifies the specific drug compound
- Practical guidance for employers and supervisors on managing results confidently and fairly
This webinar is ideal for HR, H&S, supervisors, and operational leaders who want to better understand the scope and limitations of drug screening, reduce unnecessary concern, and ensure decisions are based on accurate, confirmed results rather than assumptions.
Join us to gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger understanding of how drug testing really works
