After a workplace accident, timely testing helps establish whether substances were a factor — for safety, insurance, and liability. LabX enables fast post-accident collection with the same LC-MS/MS confirmation as the rest of your program.
Timing and policy
Post-accident windows are short, so kits on-site and a clear written trigger matter. Note OSHA guidance discourages blanket testing used to deter injury reporting — test where drug use could plausibly have contributed. Fentanyl and synthetic-opioid positivity is notably higher post-accident, so a 14-panel is wise.

Common questions
How soon after an accident should we test?
As soon as safely possible — detection windows are short. Having kits and observed collection on-site is key.
Is post-accident testing OSHA-compliant?
Yes when applied reasonably to incidents where impairment could have contributed, rather than as a blanket deterrent to reporting injuries.
