Construction has some of the highest injury and fatality rates of any industry, and post-injury opioid and fentanyl use is a real risk. A testing program protects your crew, cuts workers’ compensation exposure, and can earn insurance credits.
Why construction tests
Heavy equipment, heights, and power tools make impairment catastrophic. Many states offer workers’ comp premium discounts for a qualified drug-free-workplace program, and post-accident testing is central to liability defense.
The right program for job sites
Run pre-employment on every hire, keep post-accident kits in the trailer, and use a 12-panel so fentanyl is covered.
How LabX serves contractors
Observed collection on-site, barcode tracking per worker, and lab-confirmed results to your portal — no clinic runs that pull crews off the job.

Talk to a licensed physician
Test results support workplace decisions but are not a medical diagnosis. Anyone with questions about a result or their health should talk to a licensed physician. Employer screening results are reviewed by licensed and trained Medical Technologists; LabX does not currently offer Medical Review Officer (MRO) review, and employers can speak with a LabX toxicologist about a result.
