Cannabis legalization is increasing employee access and use, and contributing to a rising number of workplace safety incidents and risks. This issue is prompting many employers in these industries to re-evaluate their drug testing programs.

In industries where a single accident can have major safety, environmental, brand, and cost impacts, testing for THC makes sense. But legacy tests with long detection windows are no longer providing energy employers the information they need to make informed decisions. The solution is a cannabis breath test that limits detection to a few hours, deterring workday use and promoting employee fairness.
“We are in the most highly policed industry. We are firing a lot of employees because they are testing positive for THC."
