What’s worse than failing a drug test? Cheating the system to hide it.

Last year, studies uncovered something alarming: drug test tampering surged by a shocking 633% among U.S. workers. More than 6 times as many employees were using substituted urine samples in 2023 compared to the year before. That’s the highest rate in over 30 years of reporting. 🤯

But it doesn’t stop there.
✅ Invalid urine samples also spiked by 45.2%.
✅ Drug positivity overall hit a 20-year high, with a 30% increase since the all-time low of 2010–2012.
✅ And ma*****na positivity rates after workplace accidents jumped by 114% since 2015.

So, what does this mean for your company?

Because of the enormous testing demand fueled by the delta and omicron surge, APG LABS and other testing providers and laboratories are experiencing longer than usual wait times to get results. Because of this, APG is recommending that anyone tested between Dec. 30, 2021, and Jan. 5, 2022, who has not yet received their results and is currently symptomatic to get re-tested at one of the many testing sites around the state to ensure they receive timely, valid results.

We apologize to the individuals whose results were delayed, and we are working with our vendors and community partners to address the surge in testing.
