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."

Reduce Safety Risks Associated with Workday Cannabis Use
Energy employers who’ve traditionally relied on zero-tolerance policies are facing new challenges. Many are struggling to find employees who can pass cannabis tests that may detect use that occurred days, weeks, or months prior. The HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER delivers a solution to detect and deter use correlating to the workday.
Improve workplace safety
Mitigate risk, protect policy-abiding employees, and reduce costs associated with high-risk workday cannabis use.
Deter recent use
Leverage the industry’s shortest detection window to deter cannabis use on the job or shortly before coming to work.
Promote employee fairness
Objective results distinguish between past marijuana use and recent use that correlates more closely to the workday.
