For Employers

Security & Guard Drug Testing

Security personnel β€” especially armed guards β€” hold licensed, safety-sensitive positions where impairment is unacceptable and often disqualifying under state licensing rules.

Why security tests

Licensing boards, client contracts, and liability all demand clean, defensible screening for guards and officers.

The right program

Pre-employment on every hire plus a random program; a 12-panel for armed roles.

How LabX serves security firms

Observed collection, barcode tracking, and confirmed results for contracts and licensing files.

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. See our medical disclaimer.

Common questions

Do security guards need drug testing?
Many states and client contracts require it for licensed and armed roles; pre-employment and random testing are standard.
