The most common drug tests in Columbus GA include urine drug screens, hair follicle tests, and oral fluid tests. DOT-regulated safety-sensitive testing requires urine collection under [49 CFR Part 40](https://www.transportation.gov/odapc/part40) federally certified protocols. Hair follicle tests are typically used for non-DOT roles due to their longer detection window. Urine tests detect recent drug use within days, while hair follicle tests can detect drug use up to 90 days prior. Oral fluid tests provide a shorter detection window but are less invasive. | Test Type | Detection Window | | --- | --- | | Urine Drug Test | 1-4 days | | Hair Follicle Test Columbus | Up to 90 days | | Oral Fluid Test | Up to 48 hours | WHO ORDERS ## Who typically orders drug testing in Columbus GA?
