    Good morning all,
    does anyone have any credible current information on saliva testing vs urine for random drug testing?
    I am looking for information relating to the pros and cons of each, and the commonality of each if possible.
    1. Do you conduct drug testing on your site? (15 votes)
        Do you offer saliva testing as the primary choice?

        Do you offer urine testing as the primary choice?

    Hi Stephen,
    Thinking for Random but yes as you described initially screening for saliva only.

    Thank you all for your feedback and links to articles. It is most helpful. I too agree that our focus should be on impairment, and I find it interesting that when we often talk about impairment, how do we test for somebody impaired by factors such as lack of sleep, illness (headaches etc) that could impact on work performance etc.
