We offer both breath alcohol testing and saliva alcohol testing. Breath alcohol testing is a widely accepted method that provides quick and accurate measurements of blood alcohol concentration (BAC). This method is especially useful for workplace testing, roadside testing by law enforcement, and for monitoring individuals on probation or in treatment programs. Our breathalyzer devices are DOT-approved and are operated by certified technicians to ensure the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
Saliva alcohol testing is another effective method for detecting recent alcohol consumption. This non-invasive testing method is easy to administer and provides rapid results. It is particularly useful in situations where quick and discreet testing is required, such as in schools, workplace environments, and during roadside checks.
Our alcohol testing services are essential for pre-employment screening, random testing, post-accident investigations, and reasonable suspicion testing. Pre-employment alcohol testing helps ensure that new hires are sober and fit for duty. Random testing serves as a deterrent to ongoing alcohol use among employees, helping to maintain a safe work environment. Post-accident testing is crucial in determining whether alcohol use was a factor in workplace accidents, which is important for liability and compliance purposes. Reasonable suspicion testing is conducted when there is a clear and reasonable basis to believe that an employee may be under the influence of alcohol.
At Reliable Diagnostic Services LLC, we are dedicated to providing accurate and confidential alcohol testing services. Our goal is to help you maintain a safe and compliant environment, whether you are a business owner, a school administrator, or an individual.
