Random Drug Testing Programs provide ongoing deterrence against drug and alcohol use through unpredictable selection and testing of employees. DOT regulations require random testing at specific annual rates, and many non-regulated employers implement random testing as part of comprehensive drug-free workplace programs.

Effective random programs require truly random selection, proper notification procedures, and timely testing. BlueHive manages the entire random testing process including computer-generated random selection, employee notification, testing scheduling, and compliance tracking.

Our random consortium program allows smaller employers to meet DOT requirements cost-effectively by pooling employees with other companies for random selection.
