Frequently Asked Questions

Very simple .You engage our services for a variety of reasons. A DATS staff member and testing  vehicle will turn up to site or place of your convenience. Our friendly staff will greet the donor and assist them to the testing vehicle where the process will take place in a clinical environment. Our staff will fully explain the process to the donor to put them at ease and ensure they fully understand the reasoning behind the process. A signed consent is obtained and the the screening is completed without delay or fuss. The results are then electronically delivered and the appropriate actions or process to follow depending on the outcome of the screening results. If the results from screening are negative then the donor is then able to leave the vehicle at will and that part of the process is complete.

Should there be any further analysis required then this process is again fully explained to the donor and the appropriate people notified once complete. Again our DATS friendly and skilled staff are here to answer any questions the staff member may have. Our staff will be fully aware of your companies policy and procedures to help ease the process further.

More often than not; people can feel anxious when encountering a drug and alcohol test. They often have concerns like those surrounding the privacy, communication and handling of their test results.

If people are not taking illicit drugs but  taking some sort of medication, DATS staff will properly explain to the person being tested about the importance of medication and the possible detection within the process and the companies procedures around such identification.
