How reliable is a hair follicle drug test?
Hair follicle drug testing is highly reliable due to its long detection window and the scientific analysis of hair samples. The involvement of five national lab networks and review by certified Medical Review Officers adds layers of quality control. The test is not affected by passive exposure and cannot be diluted like urine tests.
For DOT-regulated safety-sensitive positions, hair testing is only for non-DOT roles; DOT urine testing follows federally certified protocols under 49 CFR Part 40.
Are there limitations to hair follicle drug testing?
Hair follicle drug testing has some limitations. It generally cannot detect drug use within the past 7 days, as hair needs time to grow above the scalp. It may not detect very recent or one-time drug use. Also, cosmetic treatments like bleaching can affect results, but certified labs account for these factors.
Call (877) 731-6362 to discuss if hair follicle testing fits your specific situation or if alternative testing methods are recommended.
